Fly Plaids - When, Where & Why?

[Galician]

Gallant gesture, Dave, but in my age group, they'd already have their own!

We see examples of tartan fabric as light as kilt or heavy as blanket being used, with or without decorative / functional pin, in the vintage photos posted elsewhere. I have a small tartan blanket or "rug" as my grandparents would call it and I will use it this fall in the cooler evenings or days. Carry it over your arm or shoulder, pin it or not. It is a fine look and quite functional.
