As soon as the little boy is old enough for a "chic" occasion, he's ready to wear a cloth handkerchief. There's nothing worse than a young man having 1) a runny nose or 2) a wad of tissue paper in his pocket that's falling apart. It's never too early for little gentlemen to start wearing accessories! This box of four tissues makes more than a good starter kit. They're a little thin, but they'll do a good job of drowning out a sneeze or wiping away a tear. The variety of colors and patterns should go well with a young person's typical fashion palette. Note: I do not find them suitable for an older man who is more picky about fashion and accessories.
