Well, I have read that a traditional jabot should not... poof out from the front of the jacket. I don't have any issues with the flat ones, so perhaps I will plan on the regulation style.

There has been neck wear in the past, though probably not worn with a kilt, that is shorter , wider, and poofier, yet still made of lace; perhaps the stock... That's probably what gets stuck in my mind. After all, I would probably wear clothing a little bit like the eighteenth/nineteenth century styles if I could get away with it.

And I do plann on, one way or another, having an Argyle style jacket as a formal jacket; no Prince Charlies for me.
