[QUOTE=Ted Crocker;524887]And don't forget that the original belted plaids were also worn higher on the thigh with the leine or shirt actually hanging down passed the bottem of the plaid. That would have given a great deal more to work with on the top end.

Please tell us more about this shirt thing that hangs down past the bottom of the plaid, because this is not what I understood.
Also the 54inch wide will be ok but probably won't go over the head, but this can only be a problem if your going authentic.
