I'm buying my second pack. The first one still serves me well, I just want some more in the rotation. I wear them mainly to cover my bald head under my bike helmet. I love the size, makes it easy to tie and arrange on your head just as you want it. Print is one-sided, although it shows on the back side... And that makes absolutely no difference to me. I guess it did bleed/fade minimally at first use or wash, but not much. I only use cold water, and often just hand rinse, wring, and hang dry... although I've used the dryer with no issues as well. Haven't seen any fraying. For the money, can't go wrong IMO. Read more

Was looking for good quality and big sized bandanas for my big head and these came through. Material is good cotton and sturdy but not too stiff, only one side is printed clearly while the other side is slightly faded, but honestly you can barely tell the difference. I use bandanas for exercising and holds my sweat very well and will wrap around any huge head. I definitely recommend buying these if you're looking for a good set of bandanas and reasonable quality. Will buy more in the future. Read more

I like these bandanas and they do the job. I gave them a 4 instead of a 5 because while they're great for the price they aren't fantastic and I have serious doubts about their long term use. If that turns out to be a mistake on my part, I'll change it to a 5. Otherwise, worth buying if you want a variety of colors. The 27"x27" Trainmen Bandanas have a lot of reviews already. I wanted to add something I hadn't found and had been curious about, so I conducted some experiments. First off, I received 7 bandanas in my bundle, a mistake in my favor. They were all tagged "100% cotton. Made in China." The important part of the product description is that they are *printed*. These aren't dyed pieces of fabric that are cut into squares. If they're printed, they're pieces of white fabric that have the design printed on them, and not all printed ink sticks as well as others it turns out. I purchased them to be a head covering and sweat absorber when working in my shop. They are a thin cotton, and when folded in half they're breathable, moisture absorbing, and long enough that I can tie the ends of the triangle together without a problem. My not so scientific experiment: 1) I hand washed each bandana in the sink with some Dawn dishsoap. I had a piece of white plastic on the bottom of the sink, so as I wrung the warm water out of them, I could see how much ink bled from each one, and if one was worse than the others. The blue and the red ink showed up longer in a rinse than the rest. 2) I washed the blue and green ones together in one small load, hot/cold on delicate. In my washing machine that means they water sits there for a few minutes and then gets agitated for a few seconds. I did the same for the red and the black *and the white*. I used a small amount of all and a small amount of Oxyclean. 3) The lid open switch on my top loading washer is disabled, so I would check on the wash mid agitation, stop the washer, and dip a clear glass into the water to see if it looked like there was any ink in it. It always looked clear in the glass. Results- The ink will definitely wash off a little. All of the dark bandanas have white fade lines after a hand and machine wash, but the color overall is still bright. What I didn't find any evidence of is the ink discoloring the *other* bandanas. The white one didn't end up pink, the green one didn't end up looking blue etc, and the inside of the washing machine looked like it did before I started. I didn't machine dry these, and have no plans too, since they would probably go from jumbo bandana to tiny handkerchief. I did wear the extra black and red one out of the package when I knew it would be exposed to moisture. I didn't end up with black and red ink on my forehead. 5 month update- All of the bandanas from this pack have been used once a week, and laundered once a week. Cold wash line dry. The colors are still bright. There is some white threading showing here and there, but you can't really see it at a distance. None have frayed or worn through. A few of them have taken an unplanned ride in the dryer on high heat. I was genuinely surprised to see they didn't really shrink or warp. The edge seams showed minimal bunching and that was it. I wouldn't take this as a sign you could toss them in on their own since they were dried with a load of towels, which would mean they dried out gradually. Read more

I used these for covid 19 and they actually worked very well. I used most of them to make mask so they cut up well. The rest I will be using for my hair or for car projects. Really great colors and very vibrant. The quality was there and they were a great size. Read more

Like the bandanas. Big. Cotton softened during first wash. Two negatives. First the hemmed edges became frayed during first laundering. Made them look not new before first use. Second, unlike most good bandanas the color looks good on one side, not so good on other side. This can also make it appear not new before first use. I think I may shop around for different source next time. Patina look is fine after an item earns it, not when it's new. Read more

These are very nice bandana's, very big which makes them easy to tie around your head. Nice colors, they are prints but even after washing ( wash cold and rinse cold ) and putting in the dryer ( I used tumble dry no heat ) zero fading. All and all very nice. Read more

These are great! I've always loved those women who can just throw a bandana on their messy hair and not worry about a thing. It's the perfect tool for convenience and badassery all in one. And now, with these jumbo bandanas, I can have that too! Whether I'm covering up my greasy mop or getting dolled up for the rockabilly convention, these bandanas fit sweetly around my huge melon. Thanks! Read more
