Imagine my delight yesterday when a small padded envelope arrived from Ivy Inspired’s new shop. Two gingham pocket squares handrolled by Tom himself, and for $10 a pop (plus a 20% off grand opening discount, bringing them down to $8).

These are meticulously handcrafted in New Jersey, USA, and a genuine steal if you ask me. They’re 13”x13”, and sure to be a substantial addition to my pocket square rotation.

My understanding is that Tom is sticking with ginghams for now, but that he’s going to be branching out in the future. He’s even talking about providing some sewing services—found a scrap of silk foulard that you’d love as a pocket square or bow tie?? No worries, Tom may be setting up a way to turn your fabrics into custom bow ties and pocket squares in the not too distant future.

In any case, you’ll want to bookmark his shop and keep your eyes peeled for any new offerings…
