Neckwear for Montrose doublet

[Chas]

I think it would look peculiar, if you didn't wear neckwear.

If not a jabot, how about a stock? Can be got from most horse riding suppliers. Bow tie, stock or jabot should be worn with a winged collar shirt.

Stock might be an interesting idea. Would this be hanging out? The gap at the top of my montrose is about 1.5 inches. What about the collar of the shirt - I've seen pictures of really high collar shirts which could be interesting.

If I did end up going for a jabot though I think I'd stay away from lace though, a bit too "frilly" for my liking. Especially as I'm going to try and get a hold of buckle brogues, though that's proving harder than I thought!

Real men wear lace jabots.

Are we talking about the same thing? I am thinking of an upright mandarin style collar. If so, Yes I agree. The thing is finding one. The cheapest I was quoted was £150 bespoke for one shirt. I can't justify that kind of outlay for something I would only wear once a year.

When I first wore a jabot, I enquired at Moss Bros at Cambridge and it was their recommendation that I passed on. I have asked my wife to modify one of my shirts, but her heart isn't in it, so I haven't pressed it.

Tunic shirt/neckband shirt...they go by several names. In any rate they do not have collars, which are detached and fastened by studs. Jabots have buttonholes and or loops to afix them to the shirt.
