I am thinking of getting myself a neutral colored, fairly heavy wool plaid. Not so much as a fashion accessory, but because I think it would be a useful garment in this climate in the winter. Neutral, because I really can't afford to get matching plaids for my several kilts. Heavy wool, so iti will serve as a protection on the wet nasty days we can get here in the winter. I think it will often be more useful than a jacket or coat, as the weather here is very erratic, and the plaid is more adaptable. Any advice, suggestions, possible sources from the rabble?
