Prince Charlie alternatives

The "regulation" doublet is certainly a good choice, as well. It can be worn with a bow tie, or a jabot (as can be seen in this pic of my father):

I like doublets, such a hard choice between them all.

I wasn't going to comment, I did anyway, but I am having a perfectly horrible day, possibly the worst in a year or two so I've re-edited my post and shall move on to other threads.

I voted Sherrifmuir, as I really like the look of it. But I don't think I'd wear a Jabot or lace cuffs. I'm simple in what I wear (...he says as a member of a kilt forum...), and I don't see myself wearing those.

So, if I had to pick one to wear myself, it'd be the Regulation Doublet.

If the Kenmore looked "right" with a bow tie...

As I own a Montrose, I really did have to vote for the Montrose. Oh Greg you could have used my photo if you wanted.

I went with the Montrose, but I think ideally it should be in velvet!

When it comes to a choice, I am like G.K. Chesterton, when presented with a restaurant menu, handed it back and said, "I see nothing to object to."

"Tashes" Do you suppose "tashes" is sort of a shortened version of of "sabertache", the small pouch carried by cavalry soldiers and used (officially) for carrying dispatches?

I had to vote for the Sherrifmuir because it seems so very versatile. It looks as though it would flatter a broad range of body types, too.

Hmm, ought it to be velvet? I think someone has posted pix of a handsome blue velvet one.

For the formal end of the spectrum, the Sherriffmuir seems to demand a bias-cut tartan waistcoat. The most striking examples I've seen look like they have 6 buttons arranged in 8 "spaces" sort of a 00_00_00. Is that how they are laid out? There are others with 5 buttons evenly spaced...
