    Cool Right shoulder fly plaid?

    I see right shoulder fly plaids as well. They are the minority but I still see them once in a while. What is the standard, and where did it come from?

    Is this the "traditional" section?

    I imagine the tradition relates back to the right arm being your sword arm so you wanted it to have free movement or some other relation to hand preference. Given that, I'd say it's very reasonable for a left handed person to wear the plaid over the right shoulder. Just my opinion, YMMV.
