A 36 inch checked linen handkerchief inspired by 18th century frontier and colonial use, made from 100% woven linen and hand hemmed for living history use.
A simple, dependable linen handkerchief inspired by early American everyday life.
In the 18th century, men and women of nearly every class kept a handkerchief close at hand. It was practical, personal, and part of daily life on the frontier, in town, and on the road.
This checked linen handkerchief is inspired by an original late-1700s ledger entry for a purchase made by James “Longhunter” Skaggs at McCorkle’s Store in New Dublin, Virginia. The result is a useful, period-inspired accessory that fits naturally into colonial, frontier, and early American impressions.
Made from 100% woven linen and hand hemmed in the traditional manner, this handkerchief is built for use, not just display. At a generous 36 inches square, it can be carried, worn, tied, packed, or kept close at hand as part of an authentic living history kit.
