I wonder if any of my fellow XMarkers could advise me on full plaids. The full plaid I'm used to, the pipers' plaid, has stitched in pleats across the bit of the plaid that wraps around the chest. However, I see in some vintage photographs of kilted gents in full day dress, the part of the plaid that wraps around the chest doesn't appear to be pleated. I'm planning to purchase a 10oz plaid to be work with my 16oz Ensign of Ontario kilt and a tunic similar to that worn by British infantry in the War of 1812. I think I would rather tend toward "antiquity" in this matter than modern fashion. Does anybody have any advice, or better yet, specifications?

Thanks in advance!
