Also, if you are in an area with a warmer climate than Scotland, it can get a bit warm. I frequently wear one fall-winter-spring, and find it very useful. However, here near Washington DC about 50 miles south of the Mason-Dixon line, in summer they quickly become uncomfortable.

The reason I ask is because while a day plaid may be firmly rooted in tradition, it's not exactly everyday Highland wear. The examples we have seen are generally of chiefs and other gentlemen of note, when dressing in their best daywear for the purpose of being in the public eye. It might be appropriate in limited circumstances where the weather could turn foul and he could use it as a blanket/shawl/wrap. But as for just wearing it as a standard part of a kilted wardrobe, it's a bit much.
