Linen Pocket Square - StyleForum Excl. Special Group Order

Bananafish · Mar 28, 2011

Hey everyone, I hope I am posting this message in the right forum... I would really like to place a 'special order' for these beautiful pastel colored linen "Alma" pocket squares from the exclusive Simonnot Godard of France:

I am planning on ordering this pale fuchsia 12" square with the hand-rolled white trim:

The very friendly Will Boehke of 'A Suitable Wardrobe' will be putting the order through for me, however there is a catch: In order to fill this purchase, he'll need to order SIX (6) of the above fuchsia linen pocket squares to sell. I would of course be taking one, and I need to find 5 other people who'd be interested as well. The cost is USD $60 / each and payment can be submitted to Will directly through his shop! These Simonnot Godard pocket squares are easily amongst the most beautiful and best quality hand-made available, and exclusively distributed through very limited outlets here in North America. Right now, this is the ONLY way to purchase the above outside of Europe. If you are interested in getting in on this Style Forum exclusive, please send me a P.M. and once I have 5 other members who are willing to purchase, I will go ahead and confirm with Will so that he can place a special order for us! As mentioned above, yo can send payment to Will at 'A Suitable Wardrobe' directly so as to keep this simple, secure and convenient! Please message me and feel free to respond below with any comments or questions if you are interested! * Note to Moderators: I hope this thread can remain int he general forum as it may be of interest to other posters and is in fact, a general clothing topic. This is not a sales, offers, or requests thread. I am simply hoping to generate interest amongst other forum members. Thanks very much!

I dunno - I may be interested if you increase the font size of your message, and bold and underline the text

I wanted a Madras 4. I think someone was getting a group order for them a while ago but haven't heard about them since.

Nope, not expensive at all! It's a great price for such finely made linens, especially considering the exclusivity of their distribution/availability. To clarify and correct my original posting though: I spoke with Will again this evening, and for his personal convenience, he would prefer to sell the quantity to one buyer rather than deal with six individuals. Nonetheless, I am looking for 5 others interested in purchasing at this price. I'd buy the "set" directly and would ask those interested to purchase the remaining quantity (5 pocket squares) from me and send them out. I just do not want to be stuck with $360 worth of multiple pocket squares, so if I can get others to commit to purchasing the remaining five, we all win!

It was me. Got the same message from Will. I will place the order for the Madras 4. $60 each. Payment in advance before the order is placed.

Of the samples below, I'd be in for the light orange, lilac, and light blue. Sadly, I'm not a fuchsia guy.

Well fyi, the blue is available from a French website based out of (I believe Paris) and if you Google SG Alma blue linen etc you should find it available to order. I forget the name of the site in question.

I think I'm going to move this to the Sales forum now as I plan on purchasing the six from Will, and would like to get 5 others to send payment for the remaining so that he could special order. Will would be glad to ship them out to each person individually. He just requires one single payment rather than six, which is understandable!

Let's see if there's any interest in the Sales forum since I'll soon have 5 of these squares to sell, as I will be placing this order from Will...

PS - You know that Barney's stock the Madras, right?

It's available to order online.

Why don't you put this on the pocket square discussion thread?

too bad you can't mix and match colors to meet the minimum order...

Yes, I know - I wouldn't mind taking the full range. Just so long as I don't receive six identical coloured squares!

I gather from lack of interest expressed on the forums however, and both Paul Stuart's and Barney's reluctance to special order stock, that this won't be an easy purchase to come by!

What is the style called and how is it made?

If anyone can answer - cheers.
