Men keeping hanky up sleeve

[smoothwrist]

I always keep a silk hanky up each sleeve, being a man do the girls in this forum find that weird or not? For me it’s totally normal and so does my wife but I would like to know How people feel about boys tucking a hanky up their sleeve.

I don’t think it is a common thing where I am from, but I wouldn’t say it is weird either!

I don't see that as a weird thing, actually I think it's very cute and hot as hell!

It's certainly unconventional, but hey, I bet the majority of people (I mean everyone, not just those with our fetish) do some things that are different from most other people 

Doesn't (necessarily) make us weird.

I wouldn't say it's a common thing where I'm from either. Mine is always in my pocket or if I'm driving its beside me

while I'm at home I always wear my hankies up my sleeve.  My wife also wears them up her sleeve.  But when I go outside, I get embarrassed.  It is actually weird for a man to keep his hanky tucked into his sleeve. In what other ways do you keep your handkerchiefs?

Super geekish remark: there is an episode of Fawlty Towers in which there is a character impersonating a member of the House of Lords (actually a conman). He places his handkerchief up his sleeve. On some audio commentary I heard on this, this is noted as a military practice.

Indeed, somewhere in one of the Sherlock Holmes short stories (I can’t remember the exact one off the top of my head), Watson, who had served as an army doctor, mentioned keeping one’s handkerchief in one’s sleeve as a military habit. There’s no indication how widespread it may have been (though I think the description seemed to imply it was rather common), but Conan Doyle had served in the Boer War, so this is likely to be something he’d seen for himself.

 

Also, if any mods see this, this particular thread may fit better under “Related Fetishes.”

I think it matters what type of sleeve it is (it would be weird if you could see lumps) but yes... the concept itself is hot, because it sounds like the precursor to some spontaneous chivalry.

It strikes me as old fashioned, but having said that, if I saw a guy doing it I'd likely swoon :D

As a teenager, home alone for a few hours, I raided the recently-discovered delights of my mum's bedside handkerchief drawer. Choosing one of the laciest (more lace than 'solid' material!), I gently inserted part of the perfectly-ironed triangle into my sleeve, ensuring that a glimpse of the lace remained visible at my wrist. Having enjoyed that sight for some time, I must have had a lapse of concentration: my parents returned, but I'd forgotten to remove the handkerchief 😮. I THINK (!!), even belatedly, I was the first one to notice the peeking lace - certainly no-one else said anything. Hurriedly, I raced ahead upstairs and replaced the handkerchief, hoping that my frantic attempts to smooth out its now slightly crumpled appearance would help keep my secret

Years later, my mum and I did have a relaxed conversation about me then openly borrowing her handkerchiefs, but the teenage 'handkerchief up the sleeve' episode still didn't get a mention! She probably knew ... 🙂

It’s sort of odd how human kinks and fetishes work - the way that some of us develop so that we find a small piece of cloth to be one of the most interesting and attractive things there is.

I remember the first time I saw a woman using a handkerchief and being fascinated. And also a close male friend of mine who was a handkerchief user and also a loud, frequent sneezer.

The thought of that guy with a handkerchief carefully folded in his pocket ready in case he had to sneeze occupied my mind for a long time.
