Film Noir Buff Style Forum / Serious Beau Brummel / Duke of Windsor conundrum

Friends,

I have a problem:

Ten years ago I was strolling down Jermyn Street, and thought that I should go for Hilditch & Key's 10 white cotton handkerchief deal. Like Agnelli, the Duke of Windsor and Beau Brummel, when they visit their tailor, they "stock up" "consumables" (ties, socks, stuff) "in bulk". That is how I felt when I did it.

Now, ten years later, these hankies are still unused, yet washed and ironed many times. I simply cannot be bothered to use them, neither as pocket squares (too bulky) or as hankie (same).

I am now thinking about simply throwing them away. Crime?

You could sell them on ebay, but a lot of effort in sending them out and doing the selling bit at the beginning. I would just drop them off at the local charity shop. And not sure there would be any kind of market for anything other than mint/still in box pocket hankies anyway.

I think you're ignoring the larger, possibly more desperately in need of therapy problem, here.

Too bulky because of fabric weight or flat dimensions?

Dimensions, 40x40 is too big for a pocket square.

Can't Mrs. B sew them together and make a pillow case out of them?

Beestonplace · 2016-07-13 16:56:11

Fuk pillow cases. Hate them

I've a jacket that has a large breast pocket that can take a pocket handkerchief as a pocket square, with the costs of pocket squares these days, it seems an excellent innovation.

Just burn the fukers...Savonarola style...

Beestonplace · 2016-07-14 15:20:38

Why cant you all be nice to me

Beestonplace · 2016-08-07 09:57:45

They are still there.

Beestonplace · 2016-11-06 05:49:48

So, buying in bulk. Discuss.

4F Hepcat · 2016-11-06 09:50:33

Just in time!

Beestonplace · 2016-11-06 09:51:08

That is my plan. Where does this bulk-buying thing come from? AAAC?

4F Hepcat · 2016-11-06 11:11:13

I dunno', just in time always strikes me outside of work as too risky.

Beestonplace · 2016-11-13 07:37:39

I have bought 6 of the same shirt at H&K, just to discover that the small (pre-facelift) collar made my face look like a pumpkin.

So, bulk-buying, I curse you.
