Jacobite shirts?

**ronstew** · 17th February 06, 09:34 AM

In another thread, bubba complained about somebody wearing "a kilt, but with a Jacobite shirt and running shoes." Okay, I see the problem with the shoes, but what is the problem with a Jacobite shirt?

I'm new to all this.

I would have more of a problem with the running shoes because that would just look odd. Maybe he was running in a marathon?

I hate those shirts. They always make guys look like they're headed to a Ren Faire.

Just my opinion, of course. Lots of guys like them.

I don't mind the shirts, but I do acknowledge that they look out of place in a modern setting. I reserve mine for when I'm trying to look "period".

To wear them with running shoes just isn't right.

I have a few shirts but most people just ask "Where is your buccannears?" to which I reply "under my buck'n Hat.

Normally nothing is wrong with a jocobite shirt, but this was at a major concert at the Performing Arts Center. It was far too casual for such an event.

I just looked at come pictures on eBay, bubba, and fully agree with you. I thought Jacobite shirts were the frilly ones (ducking in case I inadvertantly said something wrong). If I went to the games in a Bear kilt, decent shoes and a Jacobite shirt, I expect I would not be out of place.

So what are the appropriate formal shirts called?

My wife loves them. She'd like me to wear one regularly.
(I’m not going to, mind you.)

I wore a plain white dress shirt with tie, a Braemar jacket and waistcoat. To me that's appropriate dress for an event of this nature. I swear, to some people jeans formal is as far as they know how to dress up (Jeans formal means a clean shirt, jeans that aren't faded and ripped and shoes). This is how I was dressed.
