What’s a Fly Plaid?

A Poly/Viscose tartan fly plaid is recommended as an accessory to match our poly/viscose Casual Kilts, Formal Kilts, and Phillabegs. As you can see from the picture, it is brooched at the shoulder and allowed to drape down the back. In general, you want to choose a fly plaid made from the same fabric as your kilt.

• Woven in the UK
• Handmade in the USA
• Choice of Fringed or Knotted Finish
• Standard Size: Approx. 36″ x 58″ 
• XL Size: Approx. 54″ x 58″
• Medium Weight Poly/Viscose

The standard finish is about an inch of fringe on each cut end of the fabric — just enough to keep it from fraying. We fringe all 4 sides of these fly plaids, because weavers weave poly/viscose tartans without finished selvage edges. The knotted finish is also available.

Your choice of fringed or knotted finish. Choose standard size (36″ x 58″) or XL (54″ x 58″).

Note — Sizes are approximate, and can vary by an inch or two.

Medium weight poly/viscose tartan, woven in the UK. We recommend the fly plaid as an accessory for any poly/viscose modern style kilt or phillabeg. Also makes a good less expensive alternative to a premium wool fly plaid.

What is Poly/Viscose?

Poly is short for polyester, which is a durable, smooth, synthetic fiber. You may know viscose by the name rayon. Workers make rayon from cellulose fiber, which comes from wood and plants. In this case, the viscose is made to imitate wool. These two fibers blend together to create a durable, non-felting, non-pilling, hypoallergenic fabric that retains the same wonderful, natural aesthetics of wool.
