Design & Inspiration:

‘Golf Swing’ is a unique and high-quality full-size silk pocket square, Made in England. It has been created in collaboration with Dutch artist Dorus Brekelmans. His paintings are figurative and cover a variety of subjects, often with realism as the start point, but Dorus describes himself rather as an impressionist. Paint is applied spontaneously and often expressively, with brushes or with a palette knife, perfect for capturing a sense of movement especially in sporting subjects. Colours are always bright and positive. Dorus’ original artwork was created in oil on panel and inspired by that split second of excited anticipation just before the explosive swing through the ball.

Quality:

In Macclesfield, the traditional home of English silk printing, the artwork is reproduced with great care. This enables an excellent balance of design colour & clarity between the printed and reverse sides of the fine 16oz Mulberry silk twill, ensuring the pocket square looks perfect whichever fold is used. The image is framed by the pocket square’s pale blue border and the skilfully hand-rolled & hand-sewn 'shoestring' hem in mid blue. The overall quality of this pocket square from the UK's leading maker is what you would normally expect to find only on London's Savile Row or Jermyn Street.

Gift Presentation:

'Golf Swing' is presented in a complimentary Otway & Orford branded gift box with its blueberry-coloured lid and pale blue base. Inside each box, this stylish golf silk pocket square is tissue-wrapped and accompanied by a card telling the story of the artist and his vibrant artwork.

Material Composition & Care

High-quality 100% Mulberry silk woven into 16oz silk twill gives the characteristic sheen and cool touch as well as ensuring the pocket square sits nicely in the top pocket.

Silk should always be dry cleaned. Avoid pressing the hand-finished hem to preserve its distinctive 'shoestring' shape.
