Piper's plaid with something other than a doublet

[davidlpope]

I've seen it done before with a black Argyle, but it looked terrible. The biggest issue isn't the epaulet, it's that the piper's plaid wrapping around the chest is not well-suited to the less-fitted, "gappy" front of an Argyle. The front of the jacket doesn't look right because it pulls in all the wrong places and the white shirt and necktie are unsightly, as well.

I'll see if I can find a photo.
