Fly Plaid Counter-Weight

[Panama CZ]

Thanks for the replies guys!!

My plaid is the modern traditional length, so wearing it as suggested by the vintage photo Steve posted isn't an option.

And as I will frequently remove my jacket to cool myself from time to time, the option MacMillan posted doesn't sound like it will suit my needs either.

However, PiobBear's suggestion of a flask may be worth trying. I'm guessing the flask with liquid as a counter-weight will need to be about 2 lbs as the plaid itself weighs slightly more than 1 lb.

To date, I haven’t experienced the pulling davedove describes, however, I periodically pull the plaid’s bottom right corner to the right (with my right hand) to spread it across my back, and then let settle to where it hangs naturally.

Thanks again,

Mike

Halfway through the night you start asking yourself "Why is it pulling again? The flask method worked fine earlier in the evening! Why is my flask only 1lb now instead of 2lbs? And why is the floor moving like that???!!!!"

Good one siva011!!

I should have added that the 2nd flask, in the right breast pocket, is used for the ocassional wee nip.

However, as my favorite adult beverage is Myers's Rum, it usually takes at least one 5th before the floor starts moving - too much to locate in one, or both flasks.
