    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.

    I'm curious, how are you wrapping the plaid?

    I took it and wrapped it around my torso, over my shoulder and let the rest hang. I'm not sure how else to describe it. Perhaps I was doing it wrong, I've never worn one in this way I was simply trying to emulate the painting. Maybe I will do a video of it or something.
