[Leica] lens cloth good enough for leica lenses?

[rcmphoto at yahoo.com (R. Clayton McKee)]

One of the camera stores here has these; I'm not sure what they charge for 
them as I have several microfibers I got with my last pair of glasses.... 
but what I mostly use is a very old plaid flannel shirt torn into squares 
about 6" on a side.  (It's a VERY old shirt, which means there are a lot 
more squares than there would be now... ;> )
