This white, Irish linen handkerchief is made from 100% Irish linen and finished with a narrow rolled hem and a black satin corded edge. Please not this is NOT a printed border, but a thin cord hand-sewn to the very edge of the handkerchief. Please see the color card (Image 2) and write your border color in the Notes to Seller box at checkout or send a message.
These hankerchiefs are cut to a generous 13 inches square, and come ironed and lightly starched for a luxurious, crisp feel. They will soften naturally with washing and use, but won’t fuzz or pill up, and don’t fall apart like cotton handkerchiefs eventually will.
It’s the little details that count –
Handmade in the U.S., using only the finest Irish linen. The Irish weave the finest linen in the world, with a beautiful texture and strong, long fibers. This means it’ll last longer.
Traditionally, only a linen handkerchief could be folded as a pocket square in a suit. The polyester corner sewn to a piece of paper that came with your suit just won’t cut it! Linen is considered even more formal than silk for pocket squares, and a white handkerchief is always suitable, from everyday wear to the most formal occasions.
Linen is much stronger and more durable than cotton, and it’s been used for thousands of years. This is what the Egyptians wrapped their mummies in.
