I decided to go the pocket square route a few weeks back and have been having issues with it slipping down into the pocket. I've tried folding it a bunch of different ways and it doesn't seem to help. Has anybody else ever had this issue, or am I just pocket square incompetent?

I use the cardstock blank approach. I think it works great - I iron the square around the cardboard and get a great, razor-sharp square that stays put all day. As for having to use it? I don't use a handkerchief, but a small pocket square, so that won't come up. If you're really worried about that, I'd carry a handkerchief in one of the inside pockets of the jacket.

Silk is a nightware. I found cotton or linen easiest to achieve that razor-sharp quarter inch straight fold. I've abandoned the other folds ... puff, etc. as I think they are too dandyish for the workplace; works great on others mind you.
Strangest solution I saw to sagging square dilemma was using a document clip to snap around the bottom and act like a foot. The arms of it sort of force the square upright. Like viagra for pocket squares.
