About
In the original highland kilt, the fly plaid was simply the end of a long piece of tartan worn over the shoulder. This modern interpretation is no less impressive, and now rather than a practical feature, it's become impressive ceremonial accessory.
Worn over the shoulder and held in place by your choice of badge, brooch or pin, the fly plaid is an accessory designed to be imposing. The fly plaid should be worn for fully formal events like weddings, clan gatherings and graduations. This length of fabric should be in the same tartan as your kilt and to create an authentic highland look, choose a Clan Crest badge to secure your plaid.
Square dimension (140cm x 140cm) with hand-purled fringe.

As a Governor of the Scottish Tartans Authority, and founder of the world’s first company to market kilts on the Internet (yes, Scotweb) no one is better qualified to offer such advice. Impartial and objective, this is a personal work and is not a Scotweb publication.

Having a purled fringe really makes the fly plaid seem like a special garment for special occasions - which is what a fly plaid should be all about! But before ordering, it's worth thinking about exactly what you want. This fly plaid has a relatively small number of rather heavy/thick purls along the edge; others I've seen have a larger number of smaller/thinner purls (maybe 3 or 4 times as many). There's obviously a price/value tradeoff re such handwork (a smaller number of thicker purls obviously help keep the cost down, while a large number of small purls, each hand twisted & tied is a lot of work). The large purls are nicely done on this, and either way, a purled fringe is much nicer looking than the basic fringe that doesn't having the purling. But it's all a matter of preference. This fly plaid also has pleats sewn in for the corner that you pin to your shoulder. Such pre-sewn pleating is convenient and leaves less room for confusion about how one is "supposed to" pin such a thing on, which is nice if you've never worn such a thing and/or don't have much of a feel for how fabric drapes and hangs. On the other hand, leaving the pleating to the wearer to accomplish by properly pinning it does leave more room for such chivalrous gestures as unpinning your plaid and offering it to your lady to wear as a shawl if she's cold (in which case the pleats flatten out and the flyplaid becomes a big square shawl with nicely fringed ends that just happens to be a perfect match with your kilt!) Definitely a great thing to wear! Anonymous

I am anxiously awaiting delivery of my order. Although I have yet to see the items ordered, I do feel that I should comment on the quality of the Customer Service afforded by Scotweb. I can only give Scotweb the very highest of my regards in their patience & assistance in helping me to fulfill a family dream. The Customer Service Associates were not only prompt in their reponse to my questions/inquiries, but did so with the utmost courtesy. There is no doubt in my mind that this is a company of integrity & oriented strictly towards customer satifaction. Again, although I await our merchandise - & most anxiously! - I have no doubt that I will find all in the most satisfactory of states. MANY, MANY thanks to All of the Scotweb Team for their assistance! I will be more than happy to write reviewsfor the products when in hand - which I sincerely hope is VERY SOON! Gratefully Yours, Catgherine N. Cullen
