    Excellent Reproduction.

    This line of handkerchiefs are Jim Dandy offerings for the living historian. Good variety of colors and styles as well. Until Chris began offering these, I'm unaware of any other source of accurate, pre-made period handkerchiefs (save for bespoke) either, let alone direct copies of documented originals. Highly recommended

    So authentic

    These repro patterns make our bandanas look tame. A little insight on sales of the 1860s.

    Another excellent Union Mills product. Now, I don't have to tear up an old piece of white cotton. Thanks, Chris.

    I try to get all the reproduction gear I can that is copied from actual relics and artifacts. This is one of those items. Very nice! Throw out those paisley gas station bandannas and get one of these repros to improve your impression. Well worth it!

    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.
