Overview:

‘Neck and Neck’ is a unique and high-quality silk pocket square in purple, green & brown with hand-finished hem, inspired by the dynamism of contemporary racing and the striking colours of jockeys' silks.

Also available as a full-size pocket square (42 x 42cm).

Design & Inspiration:

‘Neck and Neck’ is a unique and high-quality medium-size silk pocket square, Made in England. It has been created in collaboration with leading ‘painter of speed’ John Ketchell. His semi-abstract impressionist style captures speed and drama at the same time as delivering accuracy of reproduction, such that the subject seems to burst into life.

For the original acrylic on canvas work, John was inspired by the dynamism of contemporary racing and the striking colours of jockeys’ silks.

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 grey border and the skilfully hand-rolled & hand-sewn 'shoestring' hem in purple. 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.

This Medium-Size pocket square measures 33 x 33cm and works perfectly with most fashion-led men's tailoring, which often has a smaller top pocket.

Gift Presentation:

'Neck and Neck' is presented in a complimentary Otway & Orford branded gift box with its blueberry-coloured lid and pale blue base. Inside each box, this stylish horse racing 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.
