Mercury, Pocket Square
A bold designer pocket square inspired by the hot and cold relationship between Mercury and the Sun
- Free UK shipping – Worldwide over £250
With directional pin-stripes split between the deep blue of space and the solar heat, this design brings a versatile focal point to both light and darker suits. The typographic hem is inscribed with planetary data for the ultimate in geek chic. For the more esoteric among us this is a great gift idea for Gemini and Virgo friends and comes in two options. Luxurious merino wool with a hand-rolled hem, and a smaller option with a neat machine hem in pure silk.
Here comes the science...
Mercury endures a complicated relationship with our Sun. It is bound in a complex dance with an erratic orbit which makes it seem to be tidally locked (showing only one side to the Sun). In fact Mercury slowly rotates around three times for every two times it revolves around the Sun but the effect on this tortured celestial body is the same. The planet’s day side is an incandescent 430ºC and the night side a bone-chilling -180ºC.
50 years ago we landed on the moon and looked back for the first time...
The Planets is a collection of luxury scarves and designer pocket squares for those who look out to the Solar System with wonder. It’s the ultimate in geek-chic with the eight planets explored through data and scientific stories in our signature graphic style. The collection is beautifully printed in the UK on merino wool and silk twill.
Boldly go where no one has gone before – in glorious technicolor.
A classic combination of preppy colours to go with the preppy stripes. Cream, navy and red are rather nautical colours. We've used subtle gradients here to give a richness to the otherwise plain design.

The General Product Safety Regulation (GSPR) is a critical framework established by the European Union to ensure that products placed on the market are safe for consumers. This regulation mandates that manufacturers and distributors take all necessary measures to prevent risks associated with their products. As a responsible entity, Furious Goose is committed to adhering to these regulations and enhancing the safety and transparency of our offerings.
Under the GSPR, several key rules must be followed:
1. Product Safety: All products must be safe for use and should not pose any risk to consumers. This includes ensuring that products are designed and manufactured to meet safety requirements. Silk, wool and cashmere scarves are not considered risky products but we will be compiling some safety advice regarding fire risk etc.
2. Labeling and Instructions: Clear and accurate labeling is essential. Products must include safety information, usage instructions, and any necessary warnings to inform consumers about potential risks. We will be adding QR codes to relevant pages on our website to our packaging. This will ensure that consumers have access to all necessary details to use our products safely.
3. Traceability: Manufacturers must ensure that their products can be traced throughout the supply chain. This includes maintaining records of product origin and distribution. Our products are all made in the UK but we will will nonetheless be adopting batch numbers on our labels to improve traceability.
Furious Goose is dedicated to ensuring that our products not only meet but exceed safety expectations. By proactively addressing GSPR requirements, we aim to foster consumer trust and contribute to a safer marketplace.
