I use pocket squares for their purpose, but i always have a white or blue handkerchief to offer to the ladies, if needed.
When I have a cold, a handkerchief is neither practical, as it does not last long enough, nor hygienical; in that case I'll carry some paper tissues in my briefcase.

I have heard it said, maybe in a book by Hardy Amies, that the idea of PSs is wrong and that only handkerchiefs ought to be put in ones breast pocket, meaning that one also should use them.Originally Posted by Jerome
Just remember ... Mr. Amies is the same man who predicted that by now we'd all be wearing five button (suit) coats.

Have you looked at Men's Warehouse's offerings lately?
never understood the practice of taking out a handkerchief, blowing your snot into it, folding it back up, and putting it back into your pocket.Originally Posted by sho'nuff
One does it so you're not blowing it onto the back of your hand and wiping it on the nearest bit of upholstery.
If you do it right, you never touch the snot again and it never touches anything but the inside of the handkerchief. And all of the germs you blow out are ones you already have kicking around in you, so the 'unsanitary' charge is a no go.

Are people really so far away from a bathroom that they need to resort to this? I cannot think of the last time I was wearing a suit and more than 3 minutes from a bathroom.
