[3DS MAX] Is it possible to skin a separate object under one object?

99499

To elaborate, I have a character with a skin modifier. He wears a handkerchief which is a separate object. When he runs, the handkerchief droops below him and dangles everywhere which doesn't look cool, I want it to stay in place, attached to his chest... but I need to keep the two meshes separate for reasons. So, is it possible to add an external object under the skin modifier for one object? Or another method of making it stick to him and not fly all over the place? 

Thanks.

Constrain it?

You can add another Skin modifier to the handkerchief, then just copy the bone weights from the character's Skin modifier.

You can also use the skin wrap modifier and pick the skinned object to follow.

If you're using above mentioned skin wrap, make sure to convert it to a skin modifier if you need to export it; fbx doesn't include skin wrap modifiers. Either way you should end up with a handkerchief that follows the arm.

I tried this, but there were no constraints that worked for what I'm trying to do.

I tried this one and it worked perfectly, thanks.

Eric Chadwick and Dihemi, I will try your solutions if something goes wrong with the current one. Thanks for your responses as well.
