Tips for Wearing Jackets (1) “The impression of jackets is determined by the quality of the chief! The key is size and thickness.”
A pocket chief is a necessary item for sophisticated jackets. If you have ever had the experience that “the chief gets hidden in the pocket over time,” or “the chief is worn out without volume…”, you are not the only one who has experienced this problem. It is not uncommon for the pocket chief to get lost in the pocket over time, or to wear out without volume… To achieve a sophisticated pocket chief style, you need to pay attention not only to the way the pocket chief is inserted, but also to the choice of the pocket chief itself. The specifications of the pocket chief you should choose, in conclusion, are ” size, 33 to40 cm square ” and ” silk spec, 12 to 24 monme (monme).
Note that most of the chiefs sold in Japan are less than 30 cm square. In Japan, where the jacket culture has not yet taken root, many consumers are concerned only about the ” color and pattern of the chief,” and manufacturers often sell pocket chiefs in the smallest possible size to reduce costs. Incidentally, the depth of a typical jacket pocket is about 10 cm to 15 cm. No matter how you choose to fold it, the pocket chief must be large enough to reach the bottom of the pocket, which means that it needs to be about 40 cm square. The small size of the pocket chief is the cause of many of the “pocket chiefs sunk into the pocket” that are often seen in Japanese business settings and at weddings. Next, it is better to choose a “12-24 monme” silk, which is the material used for most pocket chiefs. This is one standard for silk specifications and refers to the weight of a piece of silk 1″ wide and 60″ long. The higher this number is, the thicker and more expensive the silk becomes, but it also prevents it from becoming limp and sagging.
