Belted plaid in 2019

[jthk]

Always like your look! I think you may have already answered this, but what belt do you use to secure the GK (ie 'underneath')?

Hey, thanks! I use a canvas double-D ring belt to actually secure the plaid to my body. I've also used other belts but when I know I'm going to use that big leather belt on the OUTSIDE, I prefer the thinner, more flexible belt underneath.

I will say that wearing the plaid as is shown in these photographs can be tiring if it's for the entire day. When I take off the canvas belt and let the plaid drop, it's always a sigh of relief. I have gone hiking out in the bush with a plaid but I've found it much more pleasurable if I can secure the above-the-belt plaid on my back or across my chest so it's not hanging in the rear.

(I fully acknowledge that the belted plaid is a historic garment that reeks of pageantry / costume / Brigadoonery in 2019 but I still like it.)
