After reading this brilliant review of how thick and luxurious these tissues were, imagine my surprise when I unwrapped them, picked one up and looked through it. It is as transparent as a nylon stocking! It's better to go to TJ Maxx, Marshalls or Kohls and buy quality men's handkerchiefs from the discount men's accessories section than to buy these handkerchiefs. The weave is good, the stitching is even, but there are very few threads per square inch. So if you're looking for "thick" tissues, they're not for you and not a good substitute (as someone suggested) for the fabric I bought for. The packaging is amazing. The product is not very good.
