    To be clear, I don't wear a plaid broach and have never worn a fly-plaid, but my family wore them and these are the four I still have from them:

    The top left is an heraldic piece, from my great-grandfather and now often worn by my wife; the top right is one worn by a late family member and still worn by my wife and sometimes others in the family; the bottom left I inherited from a family piper (with his silver and ivory Henderson pipes ); and the bottom right is a piece of plated silver and glass sometimes worn by my father as a bit of OTT glitter (no fault him, we all do that sometimes, I'm sure).

    I only wear a great kilt with historic dress, not modern, so no brooch for me. Also Im only doing 18th century, so no brooch, they had fallen out of fashion long before.

    I have an extra strip of cloth on my jackets and waistcoats that allows me to tie the upper portion of the great kilt to the garment.

    My new plaid, I am going to get a bit fancier with things, perhaps even making a rosette like this:
