    It is not attached to the kilt. It is a separate piece of cloth, pinned at the shoulder and hanging down the back.

    Nice. Sharp looking!

    Thanks. Do you ever have trouble with it as for as the plaid moving left and right when you move about? Do people tuck part of it into the kilt in the back? Can you do that?

    I've never had a problem with that, but then when I'm wearing the fly plaid, it's for formal wear and I'm not moving that energetically.

    Some issues:

    The weight of the plaid does tend to pull the jacket to the left. If you look at the picture, my right sleeve seems to be a lot shorter than the left one.

    Be careful sitting down or you'll sit on the plaid, causing it to pull on the shoulder and straining where it's pinned.

    I've also never had that problem. If the plaid is tucked under an epaulette it holds it even more securley in place, right at the top of the shoulder so there's no real chance of slippage.
