The gentleman on the left in the group picture has his plaid fall off his RIGHT shoulder. Yea!! I'm not the only lefty in the world.

More than likely his plaid is on his left shoulder, but he is wearing it draped somewhat across his back and somewhat over his right shoulder.

There were no "fly plaids" amongst the gentry!

That thats what I call getting it by traditional means!!!!

Great thread to resurrect!

Anybody have fresh links to the missing photos, or would you guys be willing to re-post them?

The only time I ever wear mine is for reenactment, as in:



I know it isn't exactly like that, but it's close. Otherwise, I use it for a blanket. I take it camping. It's nice and warm, and much more comfortable than a sleeping bag. Of course... I suppose that was the original purpose of the things anyway!

A piper's plaid can be VERY uncomfortable and should only be worn by those of us who make strange noises with a wind-bag attached to 4 sticks of African blackwood.

I beg to differ. For those of us in colder climates (and advanced ages ) the added warmth of a plaid (read shawl ) can be very welcome!
