I find linen handy as a pocket handkerchief because of its stiffness, which makes it easier to stuff, and also because the plain white goes well with everything. It can also be ironed.
I never wear a handkerchief like that unless I'm ready to offer it to someone or use it at a moment's notice, so linen and cotton are practical for anyone who doesn't fancy using silk to wipe up a mess. But if we do wear silk handkerchiefs, we mustn't be stingy.
