Which is the correct way to wear a plaid?

**dejudicibus** · 14th December 05, 04:03 AM

I just received a plaid with its brooch, but I have no idea how to wear. I cannot find any drawing in Internet. Any help is appreciated. I have also a belt bucklets but not a belt. I wish to build one myself, but I do not know which is exactly the design. Can you help me?

P.S. I know how to wear the great kilt, but not the plaid above a normal modern kilt.

Yes, those are excellent illustrations. Don't expect the plaid to stay nicely splayed across your back, like in the top photo, though. Gravity will have it hanging straighter behind you in no time.

Thank you. Great pictures. I expect some problem while I move or sit, but I suppose it will take time to get used to it.

It's not as bad as you'd think. Here's a pic from my wedding. I sat, danced, and did all the usual stuff, with no problem. It does pull on the left side of your jacket, however.

Yes, I know the sporran is crooked. I wish someone had mentioned it before shooting the picture.

Well, I have not a jacket. I assume I can put it upon the shoulder of my Scottish shirt too. Or use a normal jacket rather than a Scottish one.
