Laird's/Day Plaid

I don't mind the look at all, but it does look a bit cumbersome. However, if one had a day plaid made from 13 oz. fabric that matched their 13 oz. kilt, it wouldn't be nearly as bulky as a blanket.

That would be 16oz wool

The second pic is of my Clan Chief and his first wife Frances who was a renowned beauty and fashion leader in her day. I think they make a good Scottish couple at the Braemar Gathering.

However, I do think that the laird's plaid should be just that; on anybody else it is pretentious and most inappropriate. No offence intended.

None taken
As I've said I just wanted to try my hand at the look as it has been discussed over the past few weeks. I went out last night for dinner with my brother and wore my Inverness Cape instead.
