Very nice. Great idea.

Does anyone have a view on how hot a Montrose Doublet may be, or if a Jabot - splendid though they look - is hard to manage at a dinner? Does the lace get into one's food?

While I don't own a Montrose (although I'm planning for a dark claret velvet one) I have worn a jacket similar, although Saxon in origin.

The double layer across the body, in conjunction with it being closed at the neck, DOES make it a warmer option than a Sheriffmuir or other "open" jacket.

That said, if you're fit, I think the Montrose is a much more striking cut, as it shows off broad shoulders and a trim waist (something a Sherrifmuir can help hide, if you'd rather camouflage your circumference

).

Can't help you on the jabot, never worn one, but I imagine it would be a magnet for 'soup accidents'.

Gents!

Excelent examples of how versatile and fun kilt -wearing truly is! From "Sporty" to "Elegant High" Dress, you examples are very educational!

Since I do not have photos in separate forms, I am providing similar and additional examples to you vast collection, including Military and Police uniforms. For additional information and to view this one-page collection, please visit: http://www.californiabagpiper.com/photos.html

If we ignore members of pipe bands, the fly plaid is just ornament and is sometimes worn with formal, very rarely with tweed, day attire for a wedding by the groom, for example, but generally a fly plaid is not worn with day attire. Can one do so? Yes. Should you? Hummm.
