Awricht Robinhood, Practice and Persist pleating and wrapping.It is trial and error i,m afraid. When ye hae pleated it and left yer two aprons either side, after a few attempts if it still doesnae look right, afore ye lose the heid git yersel wrapped in, fasten belt and ye will be amazed of how much ye can adjust it when it is on.-DO NOT COMPARE IT TO THE MODERN KILT AS YE WILL NEVER BE HAPPY!! A four yard plaid is far easier tae wrap and just as smart, the 6 yard plaid is for wrapping roon yersel.
If ye want tae go the whole nine yards take a look at how the jacobites looked.
I hae a weathered tartan, nice muted clours, i hae worn a long haired sporran wi the plaid, most o the time nae sporran. I hae seen many lads wearing the plaid here but most wear the modern kilt as they believe it is less hasstle and mare practical but still believe the plaid is very smart.
Ps Keep yer belt ticht as there is nothing else keeping it up, I wis in Glencoe last week and my belt buckled popped, doon went the plaid, and a few laughs "Naw at ma manhood ye understand"
Guid luck, guid move and let me ken how ye git oan
