MacLowlife and CMcG, what you bring up is why I stopped advocating the use of the jabot in black tie attire a while back; I used to suggest it a lot, and I think I was in love with the idea… To my mind, I still think the jabot is very handsome, though not something I should wear.

Granted, I only have my memory and imagination, along with the influence and descriptions of other members. In the end, the principles of blandness won out; a return to my roots of sorts… Even though creagdhubh is trying to lure me back in with this talk of "simplicity" in jabots.
