was looking at the Wikipedia article for Belted Plaid and it seemed a bit...off.

I'll ignore the unprofessional air this article has (it reads more like a book than an encyclopedia article), but some of the facts just seemed wrong.
Hence why most university librarians and instructors, myself included, strongly discourage our students from using Wikipedia as a source for research -- remember, anyone can edit an entry in Wikipedia -- with incorrect information.

Stay far awa' frae it, and consult your local reference librarian!
