Got some plaid questions...

I like the idea of a day plaid, or plaide...I have seen it called a shoulder plaid. I'm not a big fan of fly plaids. I am a piper in Texas and like piper's plaids but have never worn one.

In the book "So You're Going to Wear the Kilt" J. Charles Thompson shows a drawing of a guy wearing this item. It looks nice to me, and I fully understand its function. I have seen it worn and I have seen it in a movie. Its not a common item. In fact it is so uncommon that every kilt maker I have talked to has either called it a fly plaid or never even heard of it. Not sure how that could be with all of these people being kilt-nazis.

Am I one of only 3 guys in the world who has seen or heard of this item? I suppose if I took an unaltered fly plaid and folded it proper, I could get what I want. I'd just like to speak with someone with some authority on the matter.

Any help or discussion is appreciated.

Slainte,
