Doublets

[jmercier]

If i didnt already have a nice regulation doublet, I would probably get myself a sheriffmuir. The regulation doublet is a lot like a sheriffmuir but with lapells and three buttons up the side, but with the same flaps at the bottom and same cuffs. You've got more versitility with waistcoat choice with a sheriffmuir (as outlined above) than a regulation doublet mostly because a regulation doublet should usually be worn with a 3 button waistcoat , but not usually a five button waist coat. At least if you go by 'dressing tradition' =)

Let me remind the readers that evening waistcoats do not have to have three buttons! I prefer four buttons, as may be seen in this photograph:

Emphasis above is mine. Just a reminder that, like most any style of jacket or doublet, you can have the Sheriffmuir made with different style cuffs. A while back I did a Google image search on "Sheriffmuir doublet" just to see what different people were offering, and about half I saw featured gauntlet cuffs, while half were made with Braemar cuffs. Both look nice, in my opinion.
