-I came across this photo over at Denim Debate and was inspired. The picture is from The Hill-Side's Sandy Corsillo, and I'm really digging his use of the pocket square in the jean pocket. I love how the indigo has rubbed off on the pocket square, and how the hint of green in the selvedge peeks above the pocket (I just ordered the scarf version of this natural/green combo the other day.) A lot of times find myself needing something to wipe my hands on, or maybe just something to cover up a cough. Utilizing one of The Hill-Side's chambray pocket squares in this capacity could help me out in that department, and add a little quirk to my back pockets the same way that a traditional pocket square amps up a suit-jacket. I'm a bit conflicted because my back pockets are usually alway occupied by my wallet and iPhone, but this picture has me considering changing it up a bit. Either way, it helped me refocus on the idea that little details and personal style quirks are what help us to stand out in a world where people are paying more and more attention to style.
-Update: Check my later post to see how this idea translated in real life.

Yeah man good call. I've been folding my Hill-Side bandanna into my back pocket for a while now. It always comes in handy and you're right, it's the equivalent of a pocket square for your jeans.
Good idea. I've been using a handkerchief in my denim for a while now. Why not do the pocketsquare and iphone in the same pocket, it will give the phone a bit of padding. Both will be slim enough not to give you an unsightly pocket bulge.
It's a great look, I'll have to try it out. I love how utilitarian it is.

Nice! I pick'd up the blue chambray pocket awhile back on whim and have had a hell of a time trying to figure out what to do with it. This would do nicely. Thanks!
I noticed a bunch of bloggers have been doing the hanky in the back pocket thing. Are all these bloggers gay? or do they just not know about the Hanky Code?
