Fold the napkin stylishly (like a pocket square) and then place it into the coat pocket.
Here's a breakdown of the process based on the reference material about folding pocket squares:
-
Fold the Napkin: The key is to fold the napkin in a way that looks presentable. The Harry Rosen video mentions creating two or three peaks. You can adapt pocket square folds to a napkin. Simple folds include:
-
The Point Fold: Fold the napkin in half diagonally, creating a triangle. Then, fold up one of the bottom corners almost to the top point. Repeat on the other side. The height can be adjusted based on the depth of the pocket.
-
The Flat Fold: Simply fold the napkin into a rectangle slightly smaller than the pocket opening.
-
-
Tuck and Adjust: Once folded, tuck the napkin into your coat pocket. You can adjust how much of the napkin shows based on the desired aesthetic. It doesn't have to be perfect.
In summary, fold the napkin into a desired shape, and then simply place it into the pocket of your coat.
