Thank you gentlemen. From the info you have provided, I will have a "Laird plaid". It also seems that it is going to be a VERY versatile garment, that can be adapted to various styles of wear.
I should be getting it from Jerry (SWK ) in a few days. & I look forward to experimenting.

BTW, I will be wearing it @ an event next weekend. Hope to have pics
