I should like to get the opinion of the assembled throng, and especially of our most knowledgeable and experienced traditionalists, [Sandy, Jock Scott, Scott [MOR], et. al., as to whether a Montrose or Sherrifmuir REQUIRE a lace jabot? OR, is it equally acceptable to wear either of these doublets with a neck stock or cravat, as in the illustrations below:

Stock and bow:



In silk:



In use, albeit with a different type of coat:



In the ubiquitous images available online, and in Thompson's "So You're Going to Wear the Kilt", I only ever seen a lace jabot worn with either the Montrose or Sherrifmuir doublets. Is that the only acceptable neckwear?

What say you traditionalists--if I attended a formal gathering in Scotland, wore a Montrose or Sherrifmuir, and wore a neck stock or cravat similar to those pictured above, would you conclude that I was improperly attired, or would I be within acceptable, traditional bounds?
