    Great looking, I'll use it for 18th cent. neck stock. Color was lighter than online catalog. But looks great, thanks.

    Terrific Handkerchief

    This handkerchief is made out of quality material and is larger than I thought it would be. Since this pattern was common for over 200 years, this handkerchief is a great way to go for reenactors of any era!

    Great handkerchief! But...

    This is a great handkerchief, with a common historic pattern that goes back to the mid 1700s. It's just big enough to possibly use as a neckcloth too. However, be careful - the color is not as dark as it is pictured online. It's more of a "brick red," almost a dark pink. Great for that faded look, but not what I expected. Still would recommend the purchase!
