    Jabot by Lady Chrystel

    Here is the result of this weeks cogitation.
    This jabot is a prototype. The following ones would be slightly different.
    Anyone interested ?







    Have a good day !

    Love it. Just wish it would go with a PC, as I have no doublet.

    I have seen "Shir Shaun" wearing it with a PC. If it's good enough for him ....
    Although the perceived wisdom is that it should properly be worn with one of the doublets.

    Milady Chrystel has made a nice job and you could wear it without a shirt with a miltary or Montrose doublet - like this



    Here is mine for comparison - front view


    This shows the neck band - it fastens with hooks and eyes and press studs. Velcro would be a big improvement!



    And this is the back view - it has material at the back to keep its shape

    I wish I had a doublet so I would have a good excuse to get one of those

    Beautiful Robert. I too, am unhappy with what passes for jabots. I have a lady who specialises in period shirts and cravats working on one as we speak. We should compare design.

    I look forward to some photos of the finished article. The only ones I see for sale nowadays look as though someone has scrunched up a handful of net curtain and stuffed it down their collar.
