Fly Plaid

[bikercelt1]

I've only used a fly plaid a couple of times myself but I did learn a trick that might help if you just have to use one for some reason. One thing that helps is to use the brooch as a counter weight rather than a fastner. Instead of pinning the brooch to the jacket pin it only to the fly plaid itself and pass it through the epaulettes. Don't pin the plaid to the jacket at all or just use a small pin through the hidden folds of the plaid well above the brooch.
