Design, Inspiration & Quality: ‘A Beautiful Jigsaw’ is a unique & high-quality full-size silk pocket square, Made in England. It has been created in collaboration with David Bent, an artist with a strong interest in aviation & aerospace. His geometric shapes, bold colours, authentic detail and Boy’s Own bravado bring aviation and modern art together for a celebration of flight.

The original photocollage was inspired following an invitation to David to see Vulcan XH558 during its restoration. This aircraft entered service in 1960, performing a variety of different roles during its service, and was the last remaining Vulcan in the RAF when it was finally retired in 1993. XH558 last flew in 2015 and is now an inspiring visitor attraction. The Vulcan was a key part of Britain's nuclear deterrent during the Cold War and achieved further notoriety thanks to its role in the fourth Bond film, 'Thunderball'.

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 yellow border and the skilfully hand-rolled & hand-sewn 'shoestring' hem in grey. 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: 'A Beautiful Jigsaw' 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. 'A Beautiful Jigsaw' makes a great finishing touch at any time of year.
