A touch of style, a pop of colour and the perfect finishing touch
Unique Hand-Sewn Silk Pocket Squares Made in England
Le Mans
If you think of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, there's a handful of names that spring to mind which are inextricably linked with the world's greatest endurance motor racing event. These automotive legends include Aston Martin, Porsche and Ford. Otway & Orford have collaborated with some of the greatest living automotive artists to create striking men's pocket square designs inspired by these legends.
The 'Victory at Last' pocket square features John Ketchell's painting inspired by Aston Martin's outright win at Le Mans 65 years ago, thanks to the DBR1 of Carroll Shelby and Roy Salvadori. 'Racing Legends 292' uses Markus Haub's artwork inspired by the iconic Porsche 911, a feature of Le Mans since the launch of the car in the 1960s, to create a vibrant pocket square design. Finally, 'Muscle Car' showcases Toby Wilkinson's artwork inspired by the Ford Mustang, creating an eye-catching silk pocket square.
Aston Martin, Porsche and Ford will all line up for the 92nd running of Le Mans, starting at 15.00 (GMT) on Saturday 15th June. Aston Martin will be represented in LMGT3 alongside the latest iterations of the iconic Porsche 911 and the Ford Mustang. Porsche will also be racing in the Hypercar class with its 963. The 13.626km circuit run over race track and public roads with its challenging Dunlop Chicane, Porsche Curves and the Mulsanne Straight will play its part in deciding which names are up on the podium on Sunday afternoon. Gentlemen, start your engines!
'Victory at Last' and 'Racing Legends 292' are both available in full-size (£75) and medium-size (£55). 'Muscle Car' is available in full-size.
