Military pipers plaid

[culbokie]

Can anyone please advise on the method of construction (length, number of pleats. fringes) of an accurate replica of a pipers plaid as worn by Scots Guards, Black Watch, Royal Scots Dragoon Guards etc

Many thanks for any help/advice/ideas.

Thank you very much indeed for the link. I had never realised just how much there is to fixing the plaid in position and explains why the brooch sits so high.

Much appreciated. All the very best, David
