    Yes indeed that's probably the first jabot that I've liked! Very nice.

    I still don't care for jabots in general, not with the closed-collar Montrose/Kenmore jackets, not with PCs, not with anything. If I wanted to look like an 18th century person I would wear 18th century style clothes (and have done).

    Perhaps that is my problem. There are things that seem appealing to my mind that could, perhaps, be brought forward to contemporary dress, but that are actually out of place to the eyes of all others; something I need to work much more on in my thinking. Having grown up seeing paintings of George Washington wearing his jabot doesn't help any, either.
    Hard to find one's place here.

    Good luck, MacLowlife, and hope you come up with a dark-red doublet to go with your jabot.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
