message: Why is handkerchief being redirected to nose?!  by Paul Klenk (sorry for not signing earlier)
I dunno, but I guess handkerchief is probably more of a Wiktionary entry. Could you please sign your posts? Dolf 20:19, Oct 18, 2003 (UTC)
:Would be quite interesting to have the article discuss hankies usage and its social perceptions as well as hygienic issues. --Valmi 22:30, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: I think this is probably an Americanism. I'm British and I've only ever heard such an item referred to as a "pocket handkerchief". It used to be considered smarter to wear one's pocket handkerchief in one's sleeve and not one's breast-pocket. 62.25.106.209 17:17, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Re: the Kleenex "story", it's adequately covered at Kleenex. "The story goes" is un-encyclopedic wording - this section should be redited to point to the Kleenex article.
I have removed the "photo requested" tag on this page since I added some.
BTW, "pocket square" is standard US usage in the fashion industry and kerchief is from French couvre-chef. - PKM 20:43, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Handkerchief History 

message: From the article:
However they are a potentially more environment-conscious choice, as cloth handkerchiefs are reusable.
It is true that a paper handkerchief goes into the garbage.
However, the water, energy (from burnt coal, gas, or nuclear power) and chemical detergent needed for cloth handkerchiefs should also be taken into account.

I am a business owner that sells handkerchief folders ~ my Web site (www.hankybuddy.com). My site includes a multitude of information about  handkerchiefs with similar content as that of the Wikipedia page "handkerchief". I'd like to request that a link to my Web site is added to this page. Please take a look and let me know if this is possible. 
Sincerely,

replies: text: Hello, I've had a look, and I don't really think this link would be appropriate, as we cannot be used for advertising. The only exception would really be if the "trivia" section could be used to cite something in this article that is currently unreferenced, but I couldn't really see anything that would fit the bill at present. Thanks for asking rather than just adding it, though. Regards Bob talk 19:40, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
