Is this occasion appropriate enough to wear the Jabot and cuffs.

I've not yet worn a jabot with the sheriffmuir since none of the black tie events have been of the highest standard of Scottish dress. The other issue is menu. A soup course and the white lace would, in my spoon handling, not get along at all.

The Cuffs stay in the box, not on my wrists, as far as food, well I don't eat much to start with, as most of my stomach was removed with gall blander do to a rare cancer I got from Agent Orange in Viet Nam, so food is only protein for me and eat very little so soup and such is not an issue.... Guess it was a blessing in disguise. I love every day, as I am blessed to still be here. CHEERS .

Thanks for your sacrifice, brother. Live long in your kilt, and prosper!

I would say - it's tough! On this side of the Atlantic conventions about dress and black tie vs white tie are not as strictly adhered too as in the UK. What that means is that to some extent you have lots of leeway. Sometimes you can push it a little and wear a doublet with black tie, but recognize that it is gilding the lilly somewhat. Like Tobus I checked out their website, and noted everything from tuxedos and BBSA to PCs - and that one lone man in a doublet with jabot. Therefore, I would tend toward not wearing the jabot myself.
