Pros: relatively soft fabric, no loose seams before and after the first wash, only slight creasing after the first wash, the scarf keeps its size after the first wash. The downsides are that the fabric is thin, but no thinner than many other handkerchiefs at a comparable price. I would consider buying again. For thicker, softer handkerchiefs that also have no loose stitches before or after the first wash, hardly wrinkle after the first wash, and hold their size after the first wash, consider the much more expensive My Hanky- White Stitch No Logo handkerchief, also available in the Revain store. The only downside to the My Hanky scarf (besides the price) is that it folds up slightly.
