How many men use handkerchiefs these days? Well my SIL does. I know that he likes white but I couldn't get any in our small town. I hope he likes these with his initials on. Sorry the navy one does not show up well in the picture.

Years ago, all men used them and of course women too. I still have one with my initial on given to me ages ago

I am sure I could get white from a mans shop in one of our bigger towns - just lazy

Lovely stitching - they look very classy and he should be very happy with the variety of colours.
Men's handkerchiefs have so many uses - its a shame that nice ones are so hard to find for sale.

They are very nice! My hubby has always used them as he has bad allergies and they're easier on the nose. I use them as well, although not as often. Not many still use them which makes them harder to find. I get mine from here:

They're cheaper if you can buy wholesale but they still offer retail.

Beautiful job Sarah.. I remember 60 years ago monogrammed handkerchiefs was one of my fave gifts for the men in the family that were on my gift list

I like them a lot, the tone-on-tone looks classy. My husband has a cotton one for cleaning his glasses in one pocket and a packet of paper ones in another. The dozen I made him years ago still last - small wonder when they are hardly used :)
I still use cotton or linen ones.

I was going to do different colours i.e. Pale blue on the navy. So pleased that I didn't

You are very kind, one initial is way out. Do not know what happened
