Making a day plaid (aka laird's plaid)

[Cygnus]

Same piece of cloth; different ways of wearing it.

Interesting - thanks for the clarification. I can see why it would be worn bandolier style - it seems like it would be a bit of a challenge to balance such a long and unwieldy length of cloth on your shoulder without anything to hold it in place (as many seem to be doing in the photos).
