SCOTTISH TARTAN FLY PLAIDSimage of Scottish Tartan Fly Plaids
A great way to enhance your favorite modern or historic tartan kilt outfit. Measuring approximately 48 inches square and constructed of 100% Acrylic with fringed edges, these Fly Plaids are available in 4 popular tartan patterns. The most popular way to wear the Fly Plaid is to drape it over the shoulder and insert a corner through the epaulet of your Prince Charlie jacket. It can then be pinned to a shirt or jacket with a kilt brooch or even a smaller kilt pin. Women have found that the Fly Plaid can easily be worn as an elegant infinity scarf by folding it into a triangle and draping it elegantly around the neck.

The modern fly plaid originated with the traditional Féileadh Mòr (Great Plaid) worn in the Scottish Highlands. The Great Plaid was a large piece of cloth, which by the 16th century measured up to 9.0 yards in length, half of which was pleated and belted about the waist, while the upper half was draped over the left shoulder, was then gathered in front and could be used as a cloak and hood during inclement weather.

The modern fly plaid harkens back to that garment and was introduced in the 18th century when fashion dictated a switch to the modern kilt. The fly plaid replaced that portion of the Great Kilt that was draped over the shoulder. It is today typically worn in the same tartan or colour as the modern kilt, and should be made from the same fabric so that the sett and colours match exactly. It is typically worn with a jacket that has epaulets, but this is not mandatory, and brooch.
