I have had these tissues for at least a few months now and am very happy with my purchase. I have seasonal allergies and hate pulling a white handkerchief out of my pocket when I'm in meetings. These colors are much more muted. I've read reviews saying they're too thick, too thin, and too stiff. For me, the thickness is the same as any other new handkerchief I've ever bought. When brand new they were stiff like any other new men's handkerchief, but after three or four washes they were fine.
