Shirts & Argyll Jackets

[Jock Scot]

I agree, the waistcoat sets off the Argyll a treat and as you say, with a collar and tie.

I'm interested in what kind of shirts people wear with traditionally styled black Argyll jackets, like this one here:



I've seen pictures of people wearing plain white shirts with straight solid colored ties, and tuxedo shirts with bow ties. Both look good to me.

Is there any more casual tie-less option with this particular style of jacket?

Best regards,

Jake

Jake:

I'm eyeing the forthcoming FK jacket with a great deal of interest. I realize this is a little different from your actual question, but there you go.

I don't know. collarless shirts just look "off" to me.

Ooops sorry,I went a bit off course.The question was about what colour shirt should be worn with a black Argyll and there is only one answer.White and with collar.

Thanks for all the ideas, gang. A quick run into town, and $12.00 later and I was all set to attend a charity dinner. You can see the end result here

Jake you and the Lovely Cynthis look great! Is that jacket a poly-viscose one? If so I purchased the same one from Hugh and Tristan at the G(T) booth at the Pleasanton Games. It is a handsome coat and the PV material isn't certainly lighter (and less expensive than wool). I like the sleeves better than the gauntlet style cuff of a standar Argyle jacket.

By the by, with those sleeves I believe that neither of us own Argyles, they are Braemars-one step up in dressiness, but very handsome all the same.

Jake,

I tried that jacket yesterday with a sky blue dress shirt and my beloved F-H.C.A.G. took one look at me and said, with that black jacket it really needs to be a white shirt. She thought a turtleneck would look nice but it would have to be a white one.

See that ccga3359? There is a higher authority than Panache. I am programmed to follow the instructions of a spouse, whether my own, or someone else's.:yes:

This question should not be taken as a criticism of anyone's personal choice,I would be very interested in your answers though.

I have noticed a couple of comments from people on this thread regarding The Balmoral Jacket and The Crail Jacket being seen as a "dressier" style than an Argyll Jacket.This is news to me and perhaps I have missed something over the past 50 odd years.

I have asked several of my friends here in Scotland and they,like me, regard the three styles of jacket as just a variation on the same theme.Or,perhaps this is a modern trend?
