I look forward to some photos of the finished article. The only ones I see for sale nowadays look as though someone has scrunched up a handful of net curtain and stuffed it down their collar.

This is why I wanted a "real tie-on jabot ", without velcro and yet really super-easy to tie.

That looks really good. I like that it ties on instead of fastening in the back.

Very nice. When I get ready for more formal kilts I will need to drop you a line . . .

On a few day hiatus thanks to the flu.

Whisky, lemon, ginger and a drop of honey + as much boiling hot water...

Stay home and keep warm if you can.

From TartanWeb, I have an old fashioned, white cravat, which has to be wrapped around my neck and tied in front, that I wear with period clothing (blue bonnet, great kilt, Fugawee buckled shoes, short coat and waistcoat). TartanWeb doesn't carry it anymore, I don't believe. I admit, I like to wear it. I think I will stick with my cravat, if I ever get a doublet, but that's down the road a piece.
