I've wanted handkerchiefs for a long time, but they're so expensive in stores. There's no reason why a piece of denim should cost more than a dollar, or even a dollar. I finally got them for what seemed like a bargain price in a basement about a year and a half ago, and they've lived up to their price point and more. It is very useful to have a handkerchief that is easy on the nose and can be used several times before washing. It's also like you were a gentleman when it was more common to wear them. Just throw it in the trash after use. Or, if you're feeling more hygienic, change them every day. Along with runny noses and sneezing, they're great for drying hands when towels aren't handy or wiping up a small spill. They have just been so helpful and have held up well. The only negative is that I keep losing them. I've gone from 12 to maybe 6 in the last year and a half. So now I need to buy more and the price has gone up a lot so if you are going to buy these look for the best deal and buy at least two dozen. You will be more than glad you did.
