So... which plaid is which?
I saw a post today labelled a 'fly plaid' that was actually around the torso and back. In my head that's a 'piper's plaid'. I could be wrong.
Does anyone have pictures or diagrams to differentiate the different ways of wearing a plaid and their respective names? I think I know a fly plaid, a laird's plaid and a few others, but I'd like to be sure that I'm using the proper terms for each of them.
I know that plaids are normally considered a bit outré, but nonetheless they are indeed 'out there' so I'd like to be sure I'm saying the right thing in each case.
It may also be that the names have migrated over the decades and even centuries, in which case, I'll always be wrong. I'm married, so I'm accustomed to that.
With thanks in advance!
