According to Miss Manners, handkerchiefs for gentlemen really SHOULD be monogrammed with 2, preferably 3, initials.

The only possible conclusions are that Jeeves let personal preference interfere with propriety, he made a fashion faux pas, or really, REALLY doesn't want any young ladies to have an excuse to see Bertie or think fondly on him more often that absolutely necessary.

lol no. Miss Manners is middle class, in the upper classes monogramming anything is a really enormous mistake.

You can put your coat of arms on a few things, and if you have a title you should put a coronet or whatever over your correspondence, and from that it should be clear who you are, but feeling the need to put your name on things like you have to send it to a laundrette is unspeakably vulgar.
