My long plaids are made from 4 yards of fabric and one of them had the folds sewn in so as to make pockets - I used to walk in the parades at Sidmouth and once lost my purse - luckily not the van keys as I put them on the lanyard with my watch but it could have been a problem, so I created a zipped and a snap closing pocket.
It is still possible to wrap the plaid around once below the waist and once up and over the head for those times when a storm is raging and its a long walk back to the van.
