From reading articles on the web i would suggest that the fly plaid is a rather modern invention, not much older than 30 years. I would therefore be hesitant in calling it tradtional. I conceed that the belted plaid and shepherds plaid are traditional as photos of such can be found going back 50years plus.
I personally don't like fly plaids, others do, but I don't think we can really refer to them as tradtional.
