Perfect

There has been a lack of textiles of this general nature. For some reason the focus always seems to be on the upper end of the economic spectrum. The plebeian handkerchief/bandanna has been sorely lacking. Thank you for making the effort to fill the gap.

No more Chinese red bandana or old piece of flour sack for this Yankee.

Finding the fresh corpse of a well turned out Rebel captain face-up on the field. I availed myself of the contents of his pockets. The useless Confederate paper money made its way to the nearest "convenience." However, the neatly folded handkerchief- which I gather had just come from loving hands at home- has proven an indispensable addition to my kit. I keep it close- even after I wash it in cold spring water - I don't want any of the boys "eyeballing" it while it dries. An excellent and highly recommended item. It's the little things that count!

We received this part of our order today. The rest is to come next week. This is a beautiful handkerchief. We really like the material, the size and the color. A great product.

Great field handkerchief

Received my new handkerchief the other day, which arrived promptly. The Lt. Selden kerchief will make a fine field handkerchief. Puts me in the mind of the OD green rag I used my entire time in the Army for just about every conceivable use imaginable. This will definitely be my battlefield handkerchief.

Another Solid Example

When you're in the field there are some things you do not want to go with out and a good handkerchief is one of them. They need to be strong, durable and functional as well as authentic. This handkerchief fits all those needs perfectly.

3rd and counting

I guess I like it, it's the third handkerchief that I've bought. Right size and weight.

Great Handkerchief

Posted by Tom Johns on 28th Oct 2014

I own all of the handkerchiefs that have been offered. This may be my favorite due to the size. Because of that it offers other uses than just a runny nose. As with all of them it is well made, soft, with excellent colors. A really useful item that now is authentic as well!
