Prince Charlie alternatives

Yes James Bond did wear a Doublet here is a photo

With the gumment kilt, of course.

Traditional Gentlemen~ I'm sorry, but the lace kills me! Maybe I'm insecure, maybe I just don't care for lace. The jackets are gorgeous, though.

I would strongly recommend wearing the jabot and cuffs. Like the kilt, the ladies like them - though I've heard more than one express a certain amount of jealousy since the effect of the entire formal outfit detracts from anything the ladies are able to wear.

Remind me: is the jabot white tie, or can it be worn for any formal events?

[Bugbear]

Rub it in!

As I've said before, I wouldn't go as far as to powder my hair.

No, I just think the jabot adds a flavor of long ago times that I saw in paintings when I was a kid. What can I do...?

And I second beloitpiper's question because I seem to remember reading something about it being worn with a daywear outfit.

* Never mind, I looked up what I had read and I was mistaken. *

LOL! I'd be too tempted to blow my nose in mine. Actually, at our black tie preferred Rabbie Burns Supper, a couple of the more aged guys out do the rest of us by wearing the jabot, et. al. They look good; so, I think I will wait until my hair turns completely white before I venture. At the rate my hair is going, I may need to place an order within the next 5 years, anyway.

I think even those of us who are salt and pepper can look good in a jabot, but then again to each their own.

One Jacobite era outfit that I can put together includes a gray period jacket and tartan waistcoat completed with a white jabot.

Jabots certainly are not the provenance of the aged! I wear one, as do both of these young men:

The Duke of Argyll:


Lord Lovat:


Oh, and that's Lovat's sister, Honor, BTW.

Jobots certainly are not the provenance of the aged! I wear one, as do both of these young men:

The Duke of Argyll:

Love the buttons, and what is wrong with looking a bit different from the crowd? I thought that was a big part of the reason why we wear a kilt in the first place.
And while I was unable to convince McMurdo, for all those dandies out there I have these beautiful shoe buckles. Just the thing to set off that doublet with jabot and cuffs and much more original than the plain steel ones -

When it comes to a choice, I am like G.K. Chesterton, when presented with a restaurant menu, handed it back and said, "I see nothing to object to."
