Design, Inspiration & Quality: ‘The Beautiful Game’ is a unique and high-quality full-size silk pocket square, Made in England. It has been created in collaboration with Stoke-on-Trent based American artist Paine Proffitt, whose unmistakable style might best be summed up as contemporary naïve art. The romance and nostalgia of sport is central to Paine’s work, reflecting sport’s importance in defining and shaping us.

Painted in acrylic on canvas, Paine's original work was inspired by his love for the true essence of football and the work immerses us in ‘the feelings, the reality, the glory and heartache, the love and disappointment, and the beauty of the game.’

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 twin borders of blue & off-white and the skilfully hand-rolled & hand-sewn 'shoestring' hem in navy 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: 'The Beautiful Game' is presented in a complimentary Otway & Orford branded gift box with its blueberry-coloured lid and pale blue base. Inside each box, the stylish vintage football silk pocket square is tissue-wrapped and accompanied by a card telling the story of the artist and his vibrant artwork.

We also offer a chargeable gift-wrapping service. We can wrap your free gift box with smart wrapping paper & hand-tied satin bow as well as add a personal message into the gift box. Price £6. Click here for more details and to order our special gift-wrapping.
