    I always carry a couple of plain, white hankies and a few tissues in addition to the pocket square. I would not use a pocket square as a handkerchief, so it does not leave the breast pocket.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    I'm with you on this. I actually normally carry 3, two in the sporran and one that stays in the pocket.

    Wow, such harsh words over a pocket square. But in reality, the single peaked hanky looks just like a turned out pocket, at least to my peasant eye.

    During the Great Depression, a turned-out pocket, usually a trouser pocket, was known as a "Hoover flag", in reference to President Hoover. That's what I thought of when I read this thread.

    I wear them according to the "look" Here are 2 ideas IMHO "different & inexpensive. (BTW, please forgive the "hang of the jackets)

    1 Wool ruminate ( craft store.) I have several plain colors to match my ties.

    2. Tartan swatches Order a "swatch" of your KILT tartan
