The original of this handkerchief is in the Selden collection in the Museum of the Confederacy, along with Lt. Selden's frock coat, trousers, shirt, and other items. Our reproduction is a faithful copy of the original, being 100% cotton and measures 28 x 23 inches. This is the largest of our handkerchief offerings to date!
A must for any great impression!
These repro patterns make our bandanas look tame. A little insight on sales of the 1860s.
great service and a really fantastic product.
Another excellent Union Mills product. Now, I don't have to tear up an old piece of white cotton. Thanks, Chris.
I try to get all the reproduction gear I can that is copied from actual relics and artifacts. This is one of those items. Very nice! Throw out those paisley gas station bandannas and get one of these repros to improve your impression. Well worth it!
Beautiful!
There has been a lack of textiles of this general nature. For some reason the focus always seems to be on the upper end of the economic spectrum. The plebeian handkerchief/bandanna has been sorely lacking. Thank you for making the effort to fill the gap.
Finding the fresh corpse of a well turned out Rebel captain face-up on the field. I availed myself of the contents of his pockets. The useless Confederate paper money made its way to the nearest "convenience." However, the neatly folded handkerchief- which I gather had just come from loving hands at home- has proven an indispensable addition to my kit. I keep it close- even after I wash it in cold spring water - I don't want any of the boys "eyeballing" it while it dries. An excellent and highly recommended item. It's the little things that count!
We received this part of our order today. The rest is to come next week. This is a beautiful handkerchief. We really like the material, the size and the color. A great product.
Received my new handkerchief the other day, which arrived promptly. The Lt. Selden kerchief will make a fine field handkerchief. Puts me in the mind of the OD green rag I used my entire time in the Army for just about every conceivable use imaginable. This will definitely be my battlefield handkerchief.
