These handkerchiefs do their job well. As a child, I was taught to always have a clean, folded handkerchief with me in case of an emergency. I've used mine as trauma bandages, snot rags, and as a gift for someone who needs a tissue for a snot rag, or to wipe away tears at a funeral. I go through several a year. I reuse the ones I restore, but more than once they don't come back. So I like cheap but durable cotton substitutes. That's a good deal.
