How do you wear a fly with out it pulling down your shoulder? I wore one ounce
didn't like the feel/pull on jacket.

Related Fly Plaid Question
Do all all fly plaids have purled edges or do some have a fringe edge or a hemmed edge?
Cheers

I know that the one I have in MacIan tartan has a fringed edge.

I know that when I inquired about one from Geoffrey Tailor, they offered me two options about that.

Thanks Gentlemen, good to know. I have two BlackWatch fly plaids .... (just kidding Todd ) , that is to say my two Black Watch fly plaids have purled edges where two twisted strands of thread have been twisted together and knotted to make a purled edge. I do not have time to do this for my X Marks the Scot tartan fly plaid and hoped that a simple fringed edge would be acceptable for this Burns' Night.

Of course it is Jamie - purled edges are nice of course but labour intensive and friend Andrew's cost £180 because he wanted his done that way.
Fringed ones look perfectly elegant!

A heavy enough plaid brooch can help counterbalance the rest of the plaid.

I have two fly plaids for two different kilts and both are fringed. I also have a day or laird's plaid (that's what TartanWeb called it) in a my clan hunting tartan, but I have not had the occasion to wear it. As a piper and a resident of the warm Southwest, I am debating the purchase of a piper's plaid and doublet.
