FatCloth x Tom of Finland pocket squares
The FatCloth x Tom of Finland collection celebrates perhaps the world’s most influential creator of forbidden art. Combining Touko Laaksonen’s legendary mastery of the male form with our versatile microfiber, these pieces are truly more than pocket squares—they are statements of pride, freedom, and functional design. By bringing the unspoken "hanky code" and the tradition of flagging into the modern office wear era, this collection allows you to carry a functional piece of queer history every day of the year. Only the question remains—do you dare?
Bold Art Meets Everyday Utility – The Tom of Finland Collection
A Global Finnish Icon of Equality. Tom of Finland (Touko Laaksonen) stands as one of the most globally recognized Finnish cultural icons of all time. His work has transcended the underground to become a universal symbol of liberation, self-expression, and pride. The FatCloth x Tom of Finland collection features curated highlights from his vast archive, bringing his hyper-masculine aesthetics and impeccable draftsmanship to a pocket-sized canvas. Each cloth features a story and is named after a Tom's character or friend (Kake, Durk, Ringo) and an officially licensed product, honoring the legacy of the Tom of Finland Foundation.
The Art of Flagging and Unspoken Desires. In the history of LGBTQ+ culture, the ”hankie” has always been more than just a fashion accessory. The "hanky code" or flagging was a vital tool for silent communication and identity. This collection embraces that heritage, offering a sophisticated way to carry on the tradition of signaling pride, belonging, and those unspoken desires. By combining the legendary mastery of the male form with our versatile microfiber, we’ve created a statement piece that is both a tribute to queer history and a functional tool to wipe whatever needs a bit of TLC.
Engineered for the Modern Life. While the artwork is provocative and bold, the utility is purely practical. Crafted from our signature 185 g/m² high-performance microfiber, these cloths are designed for the high-octane lifestyle:
- Screen & Lens Care: Effortlessly removes fingerprints and dust from your smartphone, sunglasses, or camera gear.
- Built to Last: Unlike delicate silk, linen or wool, our FatCloths endure repetitive machine wash cycles at 40°C – just drop it into the laundry bin whenever it gets too dirty for comfort.
- Style Statement: Whether folded in a leather jacket or a sharp blazer, these cloths offer a unique way to incorporate world-class Finnish art into your daily carry.
The Perfect Gift for Collectors and Rebels. Searching for a gift that combines Finnish design heritage with a rebellious edge? The FatCloth x Tom of Finland collection is a favorite for those who appreciate high-quality accessories with a powerful story. It’s not just a pocket square—it’s a conversation starter that signals the courage to show your true colors. It’s a tribute to the rebels who refused to stay in the shadows—and a functional tool for those who prefer their art with a side of practical, high-performance grit.
