Folding/Pleating/Pinning a Fly Plaid

[thescot]

ChattanCat's site gives the best instructions I've ever seen for fringing the end.

You should gat "So You're Going to Weat the Kilt" and read his instructions on making a belted plaid as well. Making one like that would look--IMHO--must better than just letting it hang down.

Personally, I prefer a great kilt (breachan feileadh) when I want tartan hangin down in back, but then I am something of a throw-back to early man. The breachan feileadh looks like nothing else, and for formal wear, it can't be beaten.

Aye!

But if you only have the tailored kilt, the flying plaid is great for those special occasions.
