I was thinking about this the past year being into clothing and men's style. I think pocket squares are an interesting flair to a suit, but frankly not many people dress up like we used to.
Regardless of that, men still like to get suited up. Looking at some of the pocket squares out there I noticed that most of them were European or Asian influenced. I thought what if some were African / African-American influenced?
Anyway I found a mill in Europe that will make pocket squares by the meter. I've been wanting to make a proof of concept down, but ultimately I'm thinking would this be something brothas would actually buy. What do you think of something like an Ernie Barnes picture or a Langston Hughes poem on a pocket square?
Or maybe modern artists? This is from a black artist I met in Dallas.
Obviously something like licensing of these photos would be a hurdle but I could work on the legal side of things. This would just be more of a side hustle. What's everyone think?
