"Balmoral" Doublet Help?

[CMcG]

I would think open with a mandarin collar and vest would be a good look as well.For more formal a high collar and cravat would do nicely with a closed doublet and waistplate

I'd be willing to give the open doublet, mandarin collar shirt, and vest a try, but I'm guessing that isn't so traditional... depending on the shirt, that would probably still be considered a formal look, albeit an "alternative" one, yes?

As for a cravat, I guess we'll see if the gorge of my new (used) doublet is high enough. I have a stock tie that I'm quite fond of, but it will look a bit off if the top button of the doublet doesn't come up to cover enough of the tie.
