Design, Inspiration & Quality: ‘American Patrol’ is a unique and high-quality full-size silk pocket square, Made in England. It has been created in collaboration with contemporary artist Richard Knight. His technique of applying paint in layers of mark making, texture, pattern and colour combined with a natural observational drawing style brings a fresh perspective to the subject matter.

Richard's original work was created in oil on board and inspired by one of the Second World War's most iconic aircraft. Originally developed for the RAF, the original aircraft became key for the Americans and went on to serve in nearly every combat theatre. Our pocket square takes inspiration from the aircraft in its D-Day livery.

In Macclesfield, the home of English silk printing, the artwork is reproduced with great care. This enables an excellent balance of design colour & clarity between the printed and reverse sides of the AAA quality Mulberry silk twill, ensuring the pocket square looks perfect whichever fold is used. The image is framed by the pocket square’s pale blue border and the skilfully hand-rolled & hand-sewn 'shoestring' hem in yellow. The overall quality of this pocket square from the UK's leading maker is what you would normally expect to find only on London's Savile Row or Jermyn Street.

Gift Presentation: 'American Patrol' is presented in a complimentary Otway & Orford branded gift box with its blueberry-coloured lid and pale blue base. Inside each box, the stylish aviation silk pocket square is tissue-wrapped and accompanied by a card telling the story of the artist and his vibrant artwork. 'American Patrol' makes a great finishing touch at any time of year.
