how to wear a lace jabot

[sydnie7]

Lady Chrystel's seem to have long "legs" that go around the neck twice and tie under the front of the jabot (from photos posted by Robert).

FlamingoKilt models have a lace-covered fabric neckband that fastens in the rear with Velcro (allowing for some amount of closet shrinkage). That method is common to other commercially available jabots I've seen in the U.S. Be sure to put the prickly side of the Velcro facing away from the skin!

Mine fastens in this manner, and I wear it with a banded collar white shirt, i.e., no collar. But the jabot also has a button hole under the front lace that fastens to the shirt front (if available) or a button carefully sewn to the front of the doublet since a jabot really only looks good when worn with a closed front doublet and not a white shirt. (OK, let the slings and arrows of outrageous slander fall.)

I have never had my jabot come loose.

Yes , I designed this one and Lady Chrystel made it for me. They are now quite popular.
I didn't want to use Velcro or metallic clasps and devices.
I did want a unique, original tie on, fits all type of jabot.
This is what I came up with:

Place the jabot in front of shirt:




One way around the neck:




Back to the front:




Tie in a natural double knot:





The tied part and shirt collar can be concealed under the jabot for a more standard look.
I personally prefer to wear it this way... with the knot displayed. The collar tips can be showing or not. They are custom made to any length according to ones preference.






Best,
