Plaids and Baldricks

[highlander_Daz]

Unless your a piper or drum major, my advice is to leave the baldrics and plaids out, just get a decent kilt, shirt, day jacket, hose and nice shoes, you dont gave to go crazy and be the "cock o the north"

You could have a point. I assumed that this was a thread asking for the purpose of reenactment, which is how my thinking is geared with festival and wedding season ramping up.

Baldric and long plaid are requirements for late Rennaisance/early Enlightenment period costumes. However, for modern clothing that's not a costume, then highlander_Daz is correct. So- what are we trying to get?
