    Finally Found Colored, Silk Pocket Squares and something else

    Dillards has colored and patterned, silk pocket square, handkerchiefs: fifteen dollars and up. They have been fairly difficult to find in department stores etc.
    I purchased a dark red one, but there were many colors; the patterned handkerchiefs were a higher cost item. So--probably possible to find one that goes well with a color in the kilt if that is how you pick them.

    I also found a good condition, Neil Allyn, single button, satin notched lapel, 100% wool, ventless tuxedo jacket at a Good Will store, and it fits well. I dropped it off at the dry cleaners on the way home.

    I'm going to have to think a great deal about whether it should be converted to a kilt jacket. It could be converted to a semi formal kilt jacket without too much tailoring, but... I don't have a tuxedo in my closet... So I'm weighing all the different options until I get it back from the cleaners and can look it over again.

    All I can say, after I looked up the price of the jacket on the web, is just keep looking through the Good Will type stores for jackets to convert if you do that kind of thing. It was ten dollars; that's less than the pocket square.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
