What is the difference between a pocket square and a bandana?

A pocket square is a 46x46 cm square worn folded in a jacket breast pocket, while a bandana is a larger 53x53 cm square worn around the neck, head or wrist as a casual accessory.

Size - The pocket square at 46x46 cm is sized to fold neatly into a breast pocket without bulk. The bandana at 53x53 cm, about 21 inches, gives enough fabric to knot comfortably.

How each is worn - Pocket squares are folded into a point, puff or flat fold and sit in tailoring. Bandanas are tied at the neck, worn as a head covering, or styled on a bag handle.

Material - Both are commonly made in mulberry silk, with pocket squares often in 16-momme twill for a crisp fold. Bandanas may also be produced in cotton or cotton-linen for a more casual hand.

Retail channel - Pocket squares suit menswear, tailoring and formal gifting. Bandanas suit casual fashion, streetwear, accessories and festival retail.
