When to start wearing plaid
How to wear a plaid!
hi everyone this is Andy from Parker the
lovely D here in Scotland so I thought I
would come over into the garden and show
you how to wear the 18th century plead
this is my plate here it's 5 yards which
is pretty long and see the whole length
of it as I walk up back feet long so
I'll demonstrate how to put it on and
let me show you some weapons and oh no
leaking essentially and some are a bit
earlier period but here we have the
early duck a lethal weapon
ok we have the card which is held like
that some charges have a speak in the
middle for stabbing
we also have a basket hilt broadsword
this one here is a razor sharp we have
the brown bess flintlock musket and put
them in our will be 2 plus or festal as
well
and so just go at Liana B these are
pretty cool ok so let's go into the
plate so it's laid out and on the ground
here what we want to do is get the wet
here approximately of your waist thanks
us about that much for the apron then we
get lanes on this one so it's quite easy
to this all just sort of sack start a
bit here on this lane in the fill it
back to there so it doesn't have to be
as accurate as s but it does look rather
relative so I'm going to go
methylene here I'm going to go into the
next Lane okay you just fill it towards
me
very example doesn't see it longer so
okay
and again receipt okay we'll see it's
all lined up evenly so this really quick
doesn't have to be really accurate
I go see how easy the head
joke almost there
that's how you do your please the Lulu
there were a few of you asking how this
was done so that's why I'm doing the
video for you alright so that says
finished okay so if I stand up over the
way you can see that we've got the
aprons on either side that's about the
same width okay it's not exact so the
next step we need to get a belt and we
passed the built underneath okay pass
this through I'll be a bit more
difficult but it's not a flat surface
and pass that underneath I can get a
little bit for a little sake look look
and actually put your top of that said
oh you bet as well we'll move the sword
overly so the next thing I do is laid
out to come round here but a man's kill
what we want to do is allow you going
we want the kilt just above the knees
okay so we fold over the right hand side
first okay as I say you want that just
above your knees Rebeck kelipot right so
that's there and then the other side
goes from left to right okay and that
should overlap the bottom we are so
looking at that looks okay I get your
belt you want to put that on base and
take
lovely Sunny D here in Scotland so happy
with that the next step
stand up as you'll see will go at just
above the knee
and it's all nice and even all the way
around okay so the next thing I do I get
this one here let's flat P SOT
you look at it from this angle I'm going
to grab this point and to make it look a
bit neater I'm going to talk this little
frilly Lea and say it so I'm going to do
a little fault yeah
alright event I'm going to grab the
point I'm going to tuck it behind top
its back
okay then that leaves me the best one
hanging down again tuck that in another
point and take that round
y'all see that gives me two fairly even
sate I don't allow look to the back
which will quite equals no next step
vampire if we can find it no no it's not
either so or doodle just it must foreign
oil instead okay I'll get a nice peg
buckle belt that goes on so for this so
first spot on
that's nice lit the front and then this
is your scabbard for your duck okay so
that is basically at okay so what else
we can do we can get the back of the
kilt and mittens Falls it organized
shoulder so we take the right hand side
here and this can go up hugs your left
shoulder and then the other side can go
up over like so okay
I prefer to just have Maine dangling
though and another thing you can do if
it's really cold
gonna kill rate over your head which
keeps you warm and that's that books so
there's one more important thing a true
Scotsman doesn't wear pants when he's
out so we won't be these knees be
flatter the bump thanks for watching for
pledge of our I think you want to come
see something you can see thanks for
thanks for watching for bye-bye
