can a cotton pocket square be a handkerchief? i find that cotton pocket square is too thick to be a pocket square, unlike those made of silk and linen.
Cottons aren't all the same animal - they come in different weaves, weights, colors, patterns....etc.
I actually find that my cotton squares stay up & in position quite a bit better than the lightweight linen ones. Also take into consideration the fold that you use most often. I like a simple tv fold, so most fabrics work. Puff folds are best left for lightweight silks and airy linens.

Where do you find cotton squares? Most I've seen are either polyester or silk..

but seriously is there any specific measurement for cotton pocket square eg. thickness, dimension? mine are definitely thicker that the made of silk and always give me artificial man boobs whenever they are inserted into the breast pocket.
IMO the ideal size is about 12", assuming your squares aren't made of 30oz corduroys. Mine keep a low profile in the pocket and certainly don't look like moobs!
