Design, Inspiration & Quality: ‘Lone Fighter’ 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. The technique of layers of mark making, texture, pattern and non-traditional colours combined with a natural observational drawing style brings a fresh perspective to his subject matter.

Richard's original work was created in acrylic on canvas and inspired by the ultimate iconic aircraft, the Spitfire, which acquired mythical status during the Battle of Britain.  The work features the Mk IX Spitfire, introduced in 1942 with production continuing until April 1945, which makes it one of the most produced Spitfire variants. 

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 tangerine orange border and the skilfully hand-rolled & hand-sewn 'shoestring' hem in pale 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: 'Lone Fighter' is presented in a complimentary Otway & Orford branded gift box with its blueberry-coloured lid and pale blue base. Inside each box, the stylish Spitfire silk pocket square is tissue-wrapped and accompanied by a card telling the story of the artist and his vibrant artwork. 'Lone Fighter' makes a great finishing touch at any time of year, including at the annual Goodwood Revival.
