Just as an aside, does anyone actually own a Laird's Plaid? If so (or even if not), what size and type of cloth are we talking about?

I am imagining something the size and weight of a single blanket. That is to say, roughly 5' by 6'. Does that sound about right? From the pictures the Plaids all look substantially thicker than kilt material, that is why I am saying a blanket. Surely it would not have been 16 oz and felted up to be thicker.

And what would have been the cost? Woven material has never been cheap. It would be interesting to hear from someone who has seen one used 'in action' so to speak.

Regards
