The Pocket Handkerchief

What a great, classic reference. Thanks for posting that. It's really not something that I've ever utilized but may need to consider. Is there any reference to proper folding of the handkerchief for breast pocket wear?

Very helpful. Merci, Robert!

BTW, this is a very timely topic for me. I have a tweed lovat green daywear jacket and the breast pocket just doesn't lay correctly. I stuffed a white handkerchief in it the other day and it just didn't look right to me, so I tacked it in a couple of spots to close it up. Seeing what has been posted, I think the better solution is to use a coordinated color 'kerchief in the pocket.
