My brutally honest opinion is that the Montrose is most flattering for those gentlemen of a slimmer figure. Also of importance to note is that the Montrose is unforgiving of any gains in the wearer’s weight. The Sherifmuir is a better choice for more full figured gents and allows a little give if their figure becomes …well, fuller.
The Montrose is generally worn with a belt and thus adds another element that can accentuate a gentleman’s waist and attention to it.
I am very glad to own a Sherifmuir doublet as it has worked with my figure even though I have gained a few pounds over the years.
Hope this was of help
Cheers
