Congrats and enjoy your travel to San Francisco! When you have some dates, let the NorCal Rabble group know and we can work out a get-together.
Depending your interests and itineraries, a jacket might not be necessary. A waistcoat is pretty easy to bring and adds enough to dress up an outfit. However, weather here is extremely variable, even neighborhood to neighborhood. October weather is typically nice and can even be very warm. Early November will be cooler, especially in the evenings and even more so if the legendary fog rolls in. If "San Francisco" might include Napa, Santa Cruz, Carmel, or other points further out, you'll see wide range of temps.
Like you, I don't have a kilt jacket yet, so you'll need to use what you have. You'll bring some type of jacket, so if it's cold or rainy, you can always wear that with your kilt. I wear a black shell jacket or a black leather motorcycle jacket sometimes while kilted in casual settings. I wore a nicer black leather jacket with the kilt to the theater in SF one night last fall. None of those are long jackets, so they work fine with a kilt.
Best wishes and have a great trip!
