Design & Inspiration:

‘Racing Legends 292’ is a unique and high-quality full-size silk pocket square, Made in England. It has been created in collaboration with German artist Markus Haub, the most innovative classic car artist working in Europe today. Markus combines first-hand knowledge and love for the cars, drawn from attending classic car events and working as a car designer, with his traditional and digital art skills to create this unique automotive art.

Markus’ original artwork on box canvas is part of the ‘Racing Legends’ series, started in 2008 and focusing mainly on sports and racing cars from the 1960s and 1970s. This work was inspired by a lifelong passion for Markus, the iconic Porsche 911, a sleek creation designed to arrow through the landscape and instantly recognisable from any angle.

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 petrol blue border and the skilfully hand-rolled & hand-sewn 'shoestring' hem in red. 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.

'Racing Legends 292' is presented in a complimentary Otway & Orford branded gift box with its blueberry-coloured lid and pale blue base. Inside each box, this stylish sports car 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.
