Black92LXBest place to get top quality embroidered handkerchiefs?
In need of 3 extremely high quality handkerchiefs with the boys initials embroidered or monogrammed on them.
My wife and I grew up Protestant so for us Baptism came a bit later in life and made as a personal decision. We have decided to become Catholic and raise our boys Catholic so we are a little behind on the baptisms. They are too old for the pure white baptismal gowns but would still like something white for them to have as a keepsake from their ever special day.
Never shopped for handkerchiefs but want something very nice that will last and hopefully not yellow over time.

ZSMICHAELLinen are the best and most pricey. Not sure of a supplier. Someone will come along and give you the answer. Your parish priest would be a good resource. The Church uses linen vestments.

rburgIf you can't find someone to do the embroidery, come back and maybe we can talk my wife into doing the work. She has a nice machine that cost me a cool $7500, but that was a while back. She's still recovering from surgery, but should be 100% soon.
I assume you have an idea of the script you want. It can cover a lot of ground. As a first step, she'll need the full initials. Finding suitable handkerchiefs shouldn't be too difficult, but with something small its sometimes hard to lock them onto the frame so the machine can do its magic. Internally, the machine may have a hundred different fonts, and many more are available.
I still have a hat that was a mistake with the logo upside down.

sidss1Black- are you and your wife going through the Adult RCIA program at your local Parish? It is something that I am giving serious consideration too. Best of luck.

ScurvyFox Hanx makes some excellent high quality stuff. Several high end custom knifemakers use them.
I would get them and have them embroidered locally.

BeancookerBlack, it won’t be inexpensive, but you can contact Gieves & Hawkes in London. They should be able to supply what you’re looking for. They are a bespoke tailors and use extremely high quality fabrics.
There is a bespoke shirt maker who could also do this for you. His name is Paul Vanoli. His work is absolutely incredible and he also uses only the best quality fabrics. He would probably be much easier to work with, and more affordable then G&H. Paul is a really great guy as well. I had dealt with him quite a bit when he first started out.
