- Andy from PACA shows you how to lay out a plaid ensuring those all important pleats look as good as they do on him, how to put it on and then a few of the different styles it can be adjusted to.
I was reading a few stories and they kept mentioning “pleating my plaid” and I finally looked it up...this is so much work😭
Thank you! The book I’m reading keeps mentioning the character pleating his plaid. Now I know what he’s doing!
"wee bit 'o kilt porn" that was great!! But seriously, I came here after watching Outlander and wanting to know how the kilt was put on in the 18th century. it's so much different than the modern kilts I've seen. Makes me wish I had a little more Scottish in my ancestry and a little less English 😋
A wee bit more Scottish? (Agreed!)
There is a deleted scene from Outlander of Jaime putting on his kilt. It might be on CZcams somewhere.
"It's a lovely day here in scotland" well, that's miracle in itself
The little frilly layer is called the salvages on fabric width. Thank you for the video.
So, sometime in the past a Scotsman was running around in his underwear experimenting with folding a bedsheet and wearing it like was normal. Sounds like someone got drunk and couldn't find their breeches.
Excellent video, thank you! I’m William Wallace for Halloween and couldn’t figure how to get the damn kilt to stay on!! This helped immensely. Love the “wee bit of kilt porn”😂😂
Thanks so much for this demonstration! Best one I’ve found out here!
This is wonderful presentation of how the Kilt was folded and worn in the 1700s... By the way, I wear exactly what you do underneath my family's Tartan, but more of it!
lol, well, said! lol
Jeff Harman sounds good to me being a Sassenach!
More cheek, then? Hmmmm
Wee flash of the bum at the end heheeeeee!!!
Sir, you are the man.
I love you so much Andy. You do you boo. 😍❤ You saved me
Thank you I have Irish heritage but I've always been kind of obsessed with Scottish Kilts so thank you for the video
at first i was a little disappointed in the blurriness of the video because i would have liked to seen the weapons a little more .... however by the end of the video i was very thankful for the blurriness. i was very very thankful for the blurriness... All joking aside i recently found out i was related to XIII Ewen Cameron of Lochiel down through XVII Sir Ewen Cameron of Lochiel ... i dont really know what that means because I'm as American as they come now.... but sometime after the Jacobite rising of 1745 my family ended up migrating to Nova Scotia... around the mid 1800's they migrated to Wisconsin in America ... From there in the late 1800's they migrated to Merced California ... where my father was born and raised... and i live about 2 hours from there today.
A Scotsman, like an Irishman, goes Commando under his Kilt, if it is a Family Tartan or a Regimental Tartan. For other Tartans, he might not be Commando, that's a subject for adventurous ladies only.
But My standard answer when asked "What's worn under your Kilt?", is "Nothing, it's all in Perfect Working Order".
A very clever answer. 😏
Great video chiel.
Great Video, thank you and easy to understand! :)
omg this video is so cute! please make more!
Awesome!! I love it..👍🏼
Yesssss!! It would be nice if there were an more recent version with better quality. Especially, for the lassies on the last bit. ;-)
Thanks
Thank you!
Andy, I enjoyed your video. The material that your using looks fairly thin and very easy to manipulate. Can you please tell me or us what type of material you're using for your kilt.
Can you please make more videos, i really liked this one allot, would be amazing if you could make a video about you basket hilted broad sword. Have a great day.
What kind of shoes are you wearing with your kilt i love the look of them I feel the ghillie Brogue shoes look to formal to go with a great kilt
Very interesting . As a Sassenach I never knew there was so much material in the kilt . It is like a blanket too so I suppose it would keep out the winter cold. Thank you for explaining this. Would this be everyday wear for a kilt wearer?
Great video man! Where did you buy your plaid? I would like to get one myself and they seem non existent online!
Went to fabric store. Bought 7 yrs of flannel.plaid.
Love your vids man
The fabric is 5 yards long, but how wide? 54 inches? Thanks again.
I know this was a while ago now, but what weight is this one, mate? 16oz wool? 13oz wool? Looks like it's nice and soft & pliable to pleat and wear. Thanks for the vid 👍
I only wear my plaid once a year and every year I have to refer to this video to get my pleats right.
What tartan is this and where would It be available for purchase
info@paulhenrykilts.com
how wide is the piece of fabric I know you said it was 5 yards long but nothing about the width.
Fabric comes in certain widths, as someone who sews I imagine that this is 60 inches...I could be wrong though
bikinggal1 that's likely accurate, from what I've been reading most looms at the time could only make a cloth about 30 in. , so they made about nine yards, cut it in half and made one larger 4 1/2 yard cloth 60 in. Wide. Of course, with modern tech it is completely possible to do this all together for a variety of sizes.
I heard from 60 in. to 80 in. width.
Are the edges of the wool hemmed to keep from fraying?
Normally no, it would make the edges too stiff.
Would you mind telling me the dimensions of the fabric, please? (the plaid)
I don't know the width of the fabric in this video, but Wikipedia says: "The belted plaid consisted of a piece of tartan fabric approximately 4 or 5 yards in length and about 50 to 60 inches wide."
Smodaig! (Cool!)
Cheeky!
Is there no way to put the kilt on while standing up? It would seem to be easier (perhaps in a military situation) to wear the material as a match coat. To have need to lay down on cold, wet ground just to get this on . . . dang. Oh, but thanks so much for taking the time to post.
PS: Let's follow the 1st rule of safe weapons handling please. Treat all firearms as if they are loaded. One day they may well be. 2nd: Never allow the plane of the muzzle to cover anything you do not wish to kill or destroy. 3rd" Beware of your target and what is behind it. 4th: Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire. Be safe all.
"Be safe all."
Well *that* takes all the fun out of it!
@@Pynaegan Wouldn't want that. However, I did have a schoolmate who, while squirrel hunting one day in the '50s, placed the muzzle of his .22 on his big toe to keep the muzzle out of the dirt (don't ask, it beats me) and shot a hole through his big toe. Luckily, he managed to miss bone. I'd say, "All you fools stay safe", but that would be a wasted advice.
My guess is that the plaid was also used to wrap up in at night as a blanket which makes it logical to lay down to put on, however I was thinking that this could be a cold wet way to dress out in the open Scottish countryside.
Slàinte mhath. Alba gu bràth.
