I just ordered new handkerchiefs.
-
In Western use, mostly for blowing one's nose or wiping sweat off one's brow. Sometimes in a cinematic manner which evokes refinement in the course of labor. Might also be used to blot tears, either one's own or to give to someone who has tears but no hanky.
In East Asian use, as a hand towel, since many public bathrooms do not provision paper towels. Very useful in the USA as well, since many restrooms are moving towards air dryers of varying quality. But a handkerchief is always on-hand and can also reduce time spent in the restroom.
I personally keep two handkerchiefs on me, for both the Western and East Asian use-cases.

These. They look soft.

Yoy can also wear them on your head.

Do you just like to pretend you're "fancy," or do you actually keep your snot in your pocket?
-
They're great for all sorts of things. I've used them for everything from sweat rags to napkins. Heck guy wants used one in a public bathroom to clean myself up after falling in some mud they have a ton uses
-
Was the bathroom out of paper towels? Did you keep a muddy rag in your pocket the rest of the day?
-
Yes it was out of paper towels that was what I went for first. I rinsed it as best I could and shoved it in my coat jacket
-
Damp muddy jacket pocket, great surprise when you stick your cold hand in there
-
You are obviously antihankite! This behavior will not be tollerated.

Yes, and when you get home you can use it to make a nice tea.
