Hank & Cheef: Bringing Back the Handkerchief

7 by Doug Gunzelmann on May 26, 2008
Upgrade: $5.00

clip_image002[7]With allergy season in full force (I can literally see the pollen blowing in the wind here in the Northeast) most of us are familiar with the ailments. Being one who suffers from seasonal allergies I at one time ripped through tissue boxes, toilet paper rolls, and paper towel supplies trying to keep up with my mucus. Hank & Cheef is kickin it old school with a great waste reducing handkerchief lineup. Switching to the good old hanky is an effective waste reducing alternative for the home, office, or on the go. Made from 100% organic cotton these handkerchiefs reduce waste, reduce the cost cycle typical of paper good alternatives, and are ethical, sustainable, and colorful! A box of Kleenex takes 90 years to grow when speaking in terms of the resources required for its production. Available in singles and 7 packs Hank & Cheef Modern Handkerchief can at least make your conscious feel better if not those darned sniffles.

About the Author:

Doug is in perpetual motion and a self-proclaimed adventure junkie, that has had a longtime love affair with the great outdoors.

“I love being a part of the active world. The stuff that blows my hair back is adventure (all shapes and sizes), photography, mountaineering, Muay Thai, and seeing natural beauty in all its forms. The living earth is the framework on which I build my life and free time. My ideal trip would be BASE jumping at Sotano de Las Golandrinas in Mexico (closest I could come to skydiving through the jungle!). I work towards keeping it real, green, and healthy. ”

Doug is the co-founder of LiveOAK, although he says he didn’t know what a blog was until a couple months after he started.

    With Handkerchief use can use Stainless Steel or Aluminum Water Bottle – Cut down your waste and avoid sending more plastic bottles to our landfills (those suckers take hundreds and hundreds of years to decompose). Try out a reusable bottle and make sure to buy a skinny scrub brush so you can thoroughly clean it. Many grocery stores are selling their own bottles, or you could try one of these: Sigg Silver Traveler Water Bottle or Klean Kanteen Water Bottle. Bring it to work, bring it to school, or anytime you leave the house.

    Hi Well done in bringing back hankerchiefs, im a fan of bhankerchiefs never every tissues, i think hankerchiefs looks ten times better.
    I carry mine up my sleeve always, & i would like to hear from others who dose same.

    I have always been taught to carry a hanky at all times and so everyday I have a cotton or silk hanky tucked up my left sleeve.

    I can’ t remember the last time I didn’t have one with me, unless I don’t have a sleeves, in which case I will put it somewhere else. But my daily routine is to take one from the drawer and tuck it into my sleeve.

    Anyone else keep their hanky in their sleeve, and if so why?
