Design, Inspiration & Quality: 'Put Your Foot Down’ is a unique and high-quality full-size silk pocket square, Made in England. It has been created in collaboration with contemporary Irish artist Jonathan Aiken, whose style is influenced by the Pop Art movement. Working on a variety of materials but always using layers of colour and texture, Jonathan creates works which draw on popular culture and visually reinterpret some of our most identifiable icons.

Created on two large steel sheets, Jonathan's original work was inspired by the Mini Cooper S getaway cars in ‘The Italian Job’, the Swinging Sixties caper movie. The film’s iconic status was not immediate, however its increasing popularity over time has helped cement the Mini Cooper as a cultural icon and immortalised much of the film’s dialogue. 

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 fine Mulberry silk twill, ensuring the pocket square looks perfect whichever fold is used. The image is framed by the pocket square’s off-white border and the skilfully hand-rolled & hand-sewn 'shoestring' hem in red and blue. 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: 'Put Your Foot Down' is presented in a complimentary Otway & Orford branded gift box with its blueberry-coloured lid and pale blue base. Inside each box, the stylish Italian Job inspired silk pocket square is tissue-wrapped and accompanied by a card telling the story of the artist and his vibrant artwork. 'Put Your Foot Down' makes a great finishing touch at any time of year, including at the annual Goodwood Revival.
