Yep. Left-rear pocket. Either plain white hanky, or colored bandana.

recoatliftUsed to carry a white hanky, got older & realized a bandana covered more area. Yes, I tote a bandana everyday, it's as useful as a shop towel.
Wouldn't be without it.

ArtieSI carry a bandanna for sweat around the farm. Otherwise, not usually.

marksman41clean white handkerchief in left front pocket every day, whether I'm at work or working in the yard, etc.

Mr.9mmCarry a bandana every day. Wipe sweat, clean glasses, dry hands, emergency bandage, etc. About the only thing I don’t use it for is to blow my nose.

mikeyspizzaI do for 2 reasons - to clean my glasses and for emergencies.
One time in DC our disabled office mail worker either fell off his bike or got hit by a car (don't remember) right in front of me at a bus stop. He got a gash in his head and I used the hankerchief to stem the bleeding until the ambulance arrived.

Skins2881No!!! Gross.
I've got one, and only one friend who does. Grosses me out every time I see him blow his nose on it and stick it back in his pocket.
I've always had paper towels or napkins in any vehicle I've driven.
For those who do carry one, how many times do you use it before you stop? Once, twice, twenty times? Do you wash then daily, weekly, or when they no longer will fold?

hi-power manI think I started with handkerchiefS in Jr High School. One has been in my pocket every day since. For many years they were rarely used. Now that I'm older, I attend a lot of sad events. Sometimes I loan them to the ladies.
