If you want one for SCA use, then what you want is a bleted plaid.  Get some 
material, preferably wool (about a 10oz weight if you want to use it for 
summer wear), 55 or 60 inches wide and 4 to 5 yards in length.  Tartan is 
most common, solid is ok.  Make sure the tartan is woven in, not a print 
(shudder).  

At the end of my kilt article, you will find instructions on how to belt the 
plaid.

In addition, in my reviewed Scottish clothing sites index, I review several 
that have instructions, some with pictures, showing how to put it on.  (Go to 
the ones I give a good review to ;-)

This should help you a lot.  If you have any quesitons after reading there, 
please let me know!
Aye,
