how to wear a lace jabot

[thescot]

. . . 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.
