    I have recently seen some that are 105" by 53". Does this sound long enough?

    The long ones, that wrap around the torso, under one arm and crossed over the other shoulder, are more commonly known as "piper's plaids". I have only ever seen them on pipe bands and the like.

    That will work quite well, but it isn't considered a "Fly Plaid" Your now into a Long/Laird/Piper Plaid. Take a look at SWK. They have "Piper Plaids" at 4' x 8' for sale that match some of the kilts they offer. To get the full double width, you will have to buy bolt goods by the yard or meter and fringe yourself. I have done this.
