Because the original pattern men's handkerchiefs that used to be made in the US in red or blue are now extinct and people on ebay kinda think they're $25.00 a used, it's about that second best. I mean, you're a guy and sometimes you need to blow your nose. All other bandana style hanks are too big to fit in your back pocket, these are the perfect size. They soften well and do. Colors aren't that flashy to draw attention. I would buy them again, they are also a good gift. Here they honestly tried to ensure quality, SIZE, colors and low price and managed to ring the bell quite well. . These works are just great, thank you!
