OK - these are a really solid set of quality-made cotton hankies that are just super comfortable on the skin and by virtue of the fabrics - a big step-up from the boring white handkerchief that most people still use. After about a month of use, I would say that they are holding up well other than the fabric shrunk a bit more than I was expecting after laundering and drying. Enough to notice, and it was consistent across the assortment to the point that I am mentioning it.
