I was taught by my grandfather that you weren't fully dressed without a 'kerchief in your suit. It could match the tie exactly, match the shirt or coordinate--that wasn't the thing--the thing was to WEAR one with a suit if you wanted to look properly turned out. Along with this, he included:

-Shining your own shoes
-tying your own tie--neck tie or bow tie
-having your nails in order
etc etc etc

When I got out of the military and bought my first few suits to re-enter the civilian work world. I remember the young salesman a bit perplexed when I asked for coordinating and matching squares. An older salesman came over and smiled and said he'd take care of me.

I then went and bought a new straight razor, mug and brush.

Its funny how somethings you are taught just stay with you. I thank the lads here who are helping clods like me transfer our scrunged kilt wearing lives into something more sophisticated and proper. You remind me of how my grandfater helped me as a boy--good on ya!
