Is it clever or a needless? Convertable Plaid

[Calgacus]

As you are asking. For the theatre its fine, I suppose. For general daywear, I am sorry I hate it, its a costume and a mockery of my National attire. I know full well that is not what you intend, but that is what you are doing.

Ok, tell us how you really feel, Jock!

I agree that this could go either way, but it has historical precedent, it seems. The concept comes from "The Kilt & How to Wear It", by the Hon. Stuart Ruaidri Erskine, originally published in 1901. In this book, he heaps scorn on the fly plaid and isn't overly keen on the day plaid either.

Anyway, I'm willing to give it a bash in the full knowledge that it might end up covering the sofa.

I also came across Matt's blog about this type of plaid recently and am going to try it out. I have ordered enough extra material with my new MacDuff kilt to make just such a plaid. I am going to simply add belt loops every 5 or 6 inches to achieve the same effect.
