A 'belted-plaid' was the choice, being fuller and heavier than a fly-plaid.

Whilst essentially decorative, it is also a practical garment - long enough to cover my shoulders, and wrap up those of my lady-love who clings close as we scamper through the sleet after having danced the night away.
Do you mean a Half Plaid? A Belted Plaid is the term usually used to refer to the Feileadh Mor or Breacan an Fheileadh.
