Belted plaid in 2019

[Blaidd]

Hey, thanks! I use a canvas double-D ring belt to actually secure the plaid to my body. I've also used other belts but when I know I'm going to use that big leather belt on the OUTSIDE, I prefer the thinner, more flexible belt underneath.

I will say that wearing the plaid as is shown in these photographs can be tiring if it's for the entire day. When I take off the canvas belt and let the plaid drop, it's always a sigh of relief. I have gone hiking out in the bush with a plaid but I've found it much more pleasurable if I can secure the above-the-belt plaid on my back or across my chest so it's not hanging in the rear.

(I fully acknowledge that the belted plaid is a historic garment that reeks of pageantry / costume / Brigadoonery in 2019 but I still like it.)

I know exactly what you mean about removal I use a far lighter replacement fabric when wearing the full plaid, but even that is tiring! Thank for the tip re the belt, another buckle underneath the plaid is uncomfortable for sure!! Like you, I like it - it's something a little different, and some folks can't handle 'different'!
