According to my experience, these handkerchiefs are perfect for any special occasion. The intricate embroidery on the scallops adds a touch of sophistication. They are soft and absorbent, making them functional as well as stylish. The only downside is that they are not machine WASHABLE but the high quality material and craftsmanship make them worth the extra care. Overall, these handkerchiefs are a must-have for any well-dressed gentleman. .
