I've tried to look into detail on what, other than a lace jabotm can be worn with such a jacket. I have found several websites that contradict each other on whether a Highland cravat or bow-tie can be worn with it.

I'm thinking of the Highland cravat (note: not a ruche/scrunchy tie) option, as the cravat is tied rather plainly and left quite flat, however I'm not sure if there are any other options to this? I normally like to be quite experimental and contemporary with Highland wear, however I feel this is one jacket that requires a bit more of a traditional setting around it. I basically think a lace jabot can look pretty good, but I'm not up for wearing one at the moment.

What do you guys think would be acceptable with the sheriffmuir doublet?

I would only wear the lace jabot and cuffs with the sherriffmuir doublet-as I have one too and that is the only neckwear I wear with it. I typically wear it with only a tartan cut on the bias waistcoat to match my kilt, with 5 silver, celtic buttons. Of course sometimes I wear it will a scarlet, black, or white, waistcoat with the same silver style buttons, but I would never wear it with a normal formal shirt and bow-tie, or a necktie. I just don't think the high collar of the doublet sets those kinds of ties off well at all. My opinion of course.

Personally, I prefer the Jabot when I wear a doublet. The cuffs I can do without: especially if I am eating. Jabot are easy to come by and I wear it over a mock turtle neck.

Ricky Craford, the Glenlivet Brand rep, is wearing a sheriffmuir with a regular tie.

We're smiling since I am holding a bottle of Glenlivet XXV at the end of a whisky tasting event (The Glenlivet, of course!)!
