My thoughts, anyway.
That makes sense. I've heard the same about the rough gathers, and truth be told, if I'm camping or doing something in which I'll be putting it back on in the morning with no care for how it looks, I'll just gather up the plaid and belt it on, making a few adjustments for length or so.
