    folding the Feile mor

    Does anyone know of some other great websites that explain how to fold the "feile mor"? I found those listed below and they have been very useful. But I'd like to know of any others that may exist too.
    Thanks.

    Here are some websites I found useful in learning to fold my "feile mor"

    First, a big welcome to Xmarks from Scotland.

    You've got pretty much all of the sites I know on there.
    All I'd point out is that our very own Matt Newsome recently wrote about how likely it was that some feileadh mhor had drawstring loops sewn into them.
    Since originally they didn't have nearly the length of fabric as the sites you've linked show, all someone did was pull on the drawstring to roughly pleat it at the back and then belt and drape it to suit themselves.

    I think you have plenty there in your list. I tend to go by the weebsite approaches.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

    Do any of you fellows know of a web site that has illustrated directions on how to don the plaid without having to lie down on the ground?

    The book, "So You're Going to Wear the Kilt," has such instructions with a couple of drawings to go along.
