Have had this linen 3 pocket blouson for a few weeks now so no longer 'recent'. My first clothing purchase from The Armoury, this is their house brand made by Ascot Chang (I think?).
I think the hand-rolled edges on this square are very nice. The edges are plump and mitered at the corners instead of just overlapping.
It was only $30 and they have some for $20. This is much less expensive than I typically see for squares with a rolled and mitered look.
I don't know if I fully understand everything the store is saying, but it appears I could send existing pocket squares and pay to have the borders done nicely.
[MENTION=14773]Token[/MENTION] - Nice pickup! Isn't cigar shell sometimes hard to find at Alden or am I thinking of something like Whiskey or other lighter colors?

Thanks! No youāre right, all āexoticā shell (so everything other than black and no. 8) are hard to find at Alden. Sorta like trying to get a SS Rolex (waiting lists and all that). Steve over at Gentlemenās Footwear ran a GMTO for this at the start of this year which made it simple and straightforward - clear timeline, no markup, etc. otherwise Iām not willing to do the waiting list thing at a lot of Alden retailers nor do I want to pay the markup when a number of other makers (Carmina, C&J, Bonafe, Viberg, EG) offer the same exact āexoticā shell without the hassle.
Ordered the Timex Q diver. I was unlucky last time, really wanted the watch, stuck it in my cart, decided to wait until I got home from work to actually make the purchase. By which time it was sold out thanks to all the media hype/Hodinkee effect.
I got on the restock notification list and had more or less decided it was never going to be restocked when I finally got the notice the other morning and then made the purchase immediately.
Honestly one of the biggest appeals is the battery hatch. I hate, hate, hate changing batteries on Timex watches due to the snap-in case the vast majority of them use.
snap back cases are the devil. This watch is tempting.
Wanted a new jacket that I could wear to work or more casually and picked up this one from BR for half off - do the giant pockets look weird to you guys?
