“The Great Gatsby” will be released at the end of this year. I am super excited to see the men’s & women’s fashions from the roaring twenties! Ok I’m also excited to see Leonardo DiCaprio play Jay Gatsby ;o) Brooks Brothers was asked to design the day & evening clothing for Leonardo DiCaprio. Brooks Brothers was actually mentioned in the original novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Mr. Fitzgerald is said to have been a Brooks Brothers customer himself. We’re sure to see lots of pocket handkerchiefs for the men and hopefully some lovely hankies for the ladies. Can’t wait for the movie!

I would like to introduce to you the new line of handkerchiefs for men called the HANK. I have been working on the line with my husband for quite some time and I am so happy to finally be able to bring it to you. The HANK is representative of a time when men were men and chivalry was alive & well. The man that carries the HANK is both modern & masculine and would make their grandfathers proud!
A handkerchief is a pocket staple and practical accessory for every man. The HANK can be used to wipe a forehead on a hot day (or fist-pumping up a storm at the club), to wipe a runny nose during cold season, to wrap up a snack for the road, to protect something fragile in your pocket, as an emergency tourniquet and a clean handkerchief can be offered to a lady to wipe her tears during a sad movie! I hope you love it!

I announced on facebook earlier this week that The HANK, a handkerchief line for gentleman, will be coming soon to happyhanky.com! I wanted the name of the collection to be both modern and masculine. The men’s handkerchief is a sign of masculinity and is represntative of a time when men took their hats off when they met a lady. My grandpops carried handkerchiefs and my dad still carries a handkerchief.

There are three reasons why a man should carry a handkerchief today: to wipe their forehead on a hot day (or from dancing up a storm at the club), to wipe a runny nose, and a clean handkerchief to offer a lady to wipe her tears (look like a hero during a sad movie!)

I am enjoying working on the first collection of men’s handkerchiefs and can’t wait to share the line with you!
