Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hanky Drop?
Hanky Drop is a shirt that says you're open to meeting someone in real life. It's the old-fashioned handkerchief drop, updated for right now: someone likes the look of you, checks out your profile, and walks over to say hi. No dating app, no swiping, no guessing if saying hi is welcome.
Is Hanky Drop just for women, or can men wear it too?
Men wear it just as much as women. The name comes from history, but the shirt works the same for anyone open to meeting someone in person.
What happens when someone sees my Hanky Drop shirt?
They type the code from the back of your shirt into hankydrop.com/code and land on your own profile page — your photos, your prompts, a bit about you. No app, no scanning. From there, it's up to them whether to walk over and say hi.
What does my profile look like?
Photos across the top, a short intro, a few fun prompts you pick and answer, and your socials if you want them. Anna (code 333) and Nico (code 007) are two sample profiles — type either code at hankydrop.com/code, or open them below.
Can I edit my Hanky Drop profile after my shirt arrives?
Any time. Log in and update your photos, prompts or bio whenever you like — your page updates instantly, no new shirt or new code needed.
What exactly is the $5 a month for?
That's what keeps your profile live — hosting the actual page someone lands on the second they enter your code. No subscription, no page.
What if I cancel?
Your page goes offline, no questions asked, no guilt trip. The shirt's yours forever either way — your code just shows a polite 'currently offline' until you rejoin.
How long until my shirt arrives?
Your code is yours the moment you pay, and you can build your page straight away, so you're technically already out there. The shirt itself turns up in about 10 business days.
