Robert Redd Pocket Squares Featured in GQ
By Jake
2/5/2011 1:11:00 PM  
I place most of the blame on Don Draper, Roger Sterling, and Burt Cooper. They're the reason for the return of the pocket square to vogue. Well, perhaps AMC's Mad Men was the catalyst, and once people discovered the simple elegance and utility of a pocket square the trend stuck. Whatever the reason, we're all happy about it at REDD®.



We've been creating classic pocket squares for the past few years and we were recently honored to have one of our green & blue windowpane pocket squares featured in February's GQ (the one with the cover photo of Johnny Depp doing his best to look like a pirate). If you can't get to news stands, you can still see our pocket square in GQ's "Wear it Now" column online.

Many thanks to GQ for the recognition!

Wonderful Classic and Vintage Valentine's Day Ads
By Jake
2/9/2010 12:35:00 PM  
We're fans of many things classic and vintage, and we've recently had Valentine's day on the mind at the REDD office. These two interests recently convergred when I discovered a  collection of old Valentine's day print advertisments from the 1940s - 1960s using Vintage Ad Browser.

Below you'll see advertisments from Coca-Cola, Whitman's, Tiffany & Co., and Kreml Hair Tonic. By and large I feel like the ads aren't terribly surprizing: Coke plays it safe, Tiffany is somewhat reverved and stuffy, Kreml plays to the humor inherent to selling hair tonic. The Whitman's sampler ad feels the most racey of all, as it seems to suggest that a gentleman should give a sampler size box to all the girlfriends that he presumably has... REDD approves!
