    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!

    Great field handkerchief

    Posted by Dave Hull on 2nd Mar 2015

    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.

    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!
