"Day plaid"?

[Jock Scot]

Cavscout.

If you look closely, there are five of those "fastenings" on the fellows in the picture-----look at the lapels. At a guess, they are entrance to the show badges.

As to the fellow with the wrap around plaid, it is too long ago to remember for sure if they had a fixing ,but I certainly don't remember seeing one and I am almost sure that there were none. I did not carry my plaid like that, so I did not learn how to do it that way. In hindsight I should have, as it would solve the "keeping it on the shoulder" problem. I do recall that the "wrap around "plaid was not as wide, half the width(?), as the "over the shoulder" version. I well remember noticing that, whilst sheltering under a tree during a storm at a show, too many years ago. I and a pretty young lady were nice and warm and dry, whilst the fellow we were with, was shivering and soaked with his thin "wrap around" thing!
