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

Blue bandana, right rear pocket. I'm 38 now, carried them since I was a kid. Picked the habit up from my dad.

Bandana Every day... part of my work attire as well as casual... for dress I have a handkerchief my grandmother gave me that was my grandfathers.

Used 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.

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

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

Carry 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.

I 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.

Yep, got the plain white as well as the red and blue bandanas.

Most useful in my den leader/scoutmaster days, but I use them frequently. Ya never know-

Never got into the habit but it reminds me of my Dad . He wasn't dressed unless he had a handkerchief and a small pocketknife .

No!!! 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?

I 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.
