What the AI looks for in Men's Novelty Bandanas
- Fabric
- 100% cotton for everyday wear; polyester only for sublimated full-color photo prints Cotton is absorbent and breathable, while polyester prints sharper but feels slick and holds heat.
- Size
- About 22 x 22 inches is the standard bandana; smaller squares will not tie comfortably around the head or neck Undersized novelty bandanas look right in photos but are too short to fold and knot.
- Edge finish
- Hemmed or rolled edges, not raw-cut Raw edges fray within a few washes.
- Colorfastness
- Wash dark or red prints separately the first few times Cheap dyes bleed onto other laundry and onto skin when sweaty.
Brands that matter
- Hav-A-Hank: Classic cotton bandanas in paisley and novelty prints.
What to avoid
- Thin polyester squares sold as cotton bandanas
- Raw-edged prints
