Jabot

[Presuming Ed]

Does anybody have any information about jabots? I'm assuming that they are a derivation of a cravat, but I was wondering if anybody had done any research? Looked at portraits and that sort of thing.

I know that French judges wear them.

I can tell you they're hot.

I can tell you they're uncomfortable.

I can tell you they're a pain to keep straight.

And I can tell you they're worth it because they look excellent.

Cheers,
Nick

I should have explained - I'm more interested in the history of the Jabot - what preceeded it? I'm assuming that it derived from a form of cravat, but doesn anybody know when the jabot came about?
