    Thanks for all of the advice and photos!

    I know the Sheriffmuir is normally worn with a 7 button waistcoat. Could it also be worn with a lower fastening waistcoat and black bow tie for black tie purposes as well or if you were to wear it in black tie situations would you still wear the jabot and 7 button waistcoat?

    No problem at all with wearing a black tie with the Sherriffmuir. I am not cleaver enough to get a picture here from their website,but google "Highland Clans" they have a first class picture there.

    Jock,

    Thanks for the info on that picture. That does look quite good! I had envisioned it working in my head but wanted to be sure it was actually acceptable. It's always nice to get multiple uses out of one jacket. I really want a doublet for white tie but it would be nice if it would also work for black tie. Something a little more formal than my Argyle, and I don't like the way PC's look on me.
