Nice and absorbant. They look good when you first buy them but they shrink and wrinkle after washing. I don't like ironing hankerchiefs but in order for them to still look good they need to be ironed. I found ones that I like. They aren't pure cotton but don't shrink or need to be ironed. They are not as absorbant but are acceptable.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Stafford-Essentials-3-Permanent-Press-Handkerchiefs/dp/1906726205/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Stafford Essentials 3 Permanent Press Handkerchiefs</a>
