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)
Are there any handkerchieves made of materials other than Fabric?
Like Plastic, or some other strange things that cannot absorb liquid?
I'm doing an in-depth cultural investigation on handkerchief, really hope to know more about this issue.
I would consider a 'facial tissue' to be a paper hanky.
Re the picture... a hankerchief in the breast pocket is a very common component of wearing a suit, in case you haven't noticed. What's so special about this guy's use of it?
Nothing. I am removing that...because I don't really think this guy's well "known for wearing a handkerchief".
Handkerchiefs were invented by Richard II of England.
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)
I dont think this is an americanism. I live in Canada and I have only ever heard of it being called a pocket hankerchief until now. In my opinion who ever made this asumption is falsly sterotyping [1] north americans.
now thats a joke - this is maybe the most weird and ridiculous english word and we have nothing to say bout the words origin? Is it french? dutch? what does it really mean? I suspect its english "hand" and french "couvre-chief" (as usually terribly corrupted) -- 84.159.177.149 01:30, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
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)
We need more information on the history of the handkerchief. T@nn 08:57, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
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.
