'Polo Players' by J. C Leyendecker Pocket Square

Artwork: 'Polo Players’

Author: J.C. Leyendecker

A pocket square made from from 100% silk, which gives the colors exceptional vibrancy while adding depth and a subtle sheen to the pattern. As with all our pocket squares, the edges are hand-rolled by our seamstresses locally in Katowice.

The motif is based on the illustration “Polo Players” by J.C. Leyendecker, one of the most important American illustrators of the early 20th century, known in particular for his covers for The Saturday Evening Post and his campaigns for the Arrow brand. His style combined dynamic composition with distinctive, graphic modeling of light and an elegant, clearly defined line. “Polo Players” is a classic example of his approach: sport, movement, and the male figure captured in a way that is both realistic and decorative.
