You can pick some regular ones up at WAL-MART(or a place like Canadian Tire I'm sure  ), for a few bucks. 
I'd love to have a Survivorman one, but I would rather have a plain one for everyday use. 
Go buy lots more!

No prob.
A bandana(aka - hanky, or hankerchief) is always a good thing to have with you.

 | | Hey winter that is a really good idea with the bright colored bandana. I think I should add one to my set because I dont have a bandana and you gusy seem to like them so I gotta try one. Right now as a signal I have an emergency blanket. Its small and its like a massive mirror |
Overcast day or its raining would lessen its usefulness unless a plane is looking for something thats just shiny.

I am such a bandana freak that I make my own. the commercial ones are not big enough to suit me.
I cut or tear mine 30" square. I prefer unbleached muslin from the fabric store. It costs about a dollar a yard. If you wash it before use it softens it up. You can also tear one from the front or back of an old tee shirt.
head cloth
Towel
washcloth
water filter
pot holder
extra tinder
bullet patching (for BP shooters)
extra warmth over your shoulders
If you like the ready made kind check out the Hobby Lobby if there is one in your area. They have many colors available in their craft section. My wife prefers purple and I buy them for her there. $0.98

I love my bandanna's fits just right but I am small. but that is a good idea. I might try it someday.

30" gives you plenty to cover the entire head and tie well, and have a bit to hang down and protect the neck. You also still have plenty if you need to tear off a piece or two for strips, cordage or repairs.
I often wear one around my neck and another on my head.

Here's an emergency use that everyone seems to have missed:
 TOILET PAPER  
Beats using a sock or your underwear. I know, I've used all 3. 
Probably a good reason to NOT carry an American flag bandanna

ERRR, Just don't put it back on your head without rinsing it out!
I think there is some unwritten rule that you must hand the A-rag on the back of the pack as a warning flag.

Don't find them very useful in my climate.
