What more would it be used for? Fly plaids might be usable as a kind of a shawl, but they're generally nowhere near the size of an "evening plaid," or "piper's plaid."

The fly plaid is generally pulled under the epaulet on the left shoulder, and pinned just forward of the shoulder (on the left pectoral) to be left hanging down the left side of the back.
