Sorry to disappoint you Matt, but one thing you will NEVER catch me wearing is a plaid of any sort!
Apart from being an acceptable part of a pipe band uniform, I can see no point whatsoever in day plaids, fly plaids or whatever. To my mind, they are useless pieces of 'costume' which not only look dreadful (and to quote someone else: tacky) but have no relevance in the 21st century at all.
If a kilt wearer wants to do the 'historical thing' at a Renn Faire then let him get with authenticity and wear a breachan feile, but please stop him draping unnecessary squares of tartan from his shoulder as part of current or modern Highland Dress.
My apologies to anyone who feels offended by my opinions - I single no-one out because I believe no-one gains anything by wearing a loose plaid, in particular with regard to their appearance.
