Unless you want to look madly overdressed, leave the doublet at home until after 6pm.
I've been on the fence between a velvet Balmoral doublet and a velvet Sheriffmuir. I like the closed up simplicity of the Balmoral, but don't particularly care to wear a dirk belt.
I also like the flexibility of the Sheriffmuir in that I could wear either my tartan waistcoat or the velvet one I'd order with the doublet.
The forgiveness in waist fluctuation is also a huge bonus with the Sheriffmuir.
In the end I voted Sheriffmuir.
