OK - this is a really solid set of quality cotton handkerchiefs that are just super skin-friendly and thanks to the fabric - a big step up from the boring white handkerchiefs that most people love still have use. After about a month of use I would say they are holding up well except after washing and drying the fabric has shrunk a little more than I expected. Suffice it to say, and it has been consistent across the range up to the point where I mention it.
