Hello fellow Scotts and kilted ones! This is my first post as my title alludes.

Question regarding the belted plaid: I read in one of Matt Newsome's articles that there is evidence of a cord that was attached on the inside or outside of the plaid which the wearer pulls and ties around his waist - which creates the pleats vs. Having to lay it out on the ground (the "traditional" method if you will). Anyone know how these loops/cord is actually attached?

I would like to try this out.
