These tissues are soft and hold up great (have been wearing them for 6 months now). I expected them to be just average after reading the reviews but I really like them so I give them five. For anyone interested, there are at least 100 (mostly positive) reviews of these handkerchiefs, but they're all separate as Revain lists each color option as a separate item. Some people have mentioned that they need to be ironed after washing, but I just fold them without ironing because they straighten out on their own after being in my bag for a few days.
