Well, Scott of Victoria, Australia, as Mike has said, it is really good to have you here. You bring a perspective that stands out (bearing in mind that I am very new here myself so have not seen much, not compared to what others have seen!). I look forward to hearing (and seeing) more.

I've been thinking of wearing a belted plaide but that is not an easy thing to find. I was also thinking that I would simply get the plaide and do what little stitching is required myself. To that end, I am curious as to how much stitching yours has, or have you gone completely "old school" and pleat it every time you put it on? I've done some research and know that there have been several innovations from the blanket to an inside draw-string to pleating.

Handing in my army kilt in 1978 was a great regret to me, and I would love to own another one of military weight.
There is a person on ebay selling U.K. military surplus and he does have military weight kilts - for an excellent price!
