Selden Handkerchief

A really nice printed piece, large enough to deal with sweat and act as a neck cloth. Good pattern but coloured so does not show dirt. Great for my needs.

Lovely Pattern and Quality; Great around neck

This, like many other products from South Union Mills are made with great quality. I love the various patterns in particular because I think it is rather difficult to find patterns like those from the era. This product goes especially well with navy attire.

Useful - Authentic Look

Posted by Captain Dave Sulin on 18th Oct 2018

This was the first SUM product that I bought. The large size allows you to wrap it around your neck. Being a copy of an authentic historical piece that has a real story behind it makes be proud to wear it in honor of Lt. Selden and his sacrifices. Combine quality construction with a traceable history and you have a winner. For a reasonable price this handkerchief allows you to improve your impression. Throw out your "gas station" bandana, as one guy accurately called them, and get one of these beauties.
