Pros and Cons of Montrose ans Sheriffmuir coatees?

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

And what would be the comments of our Scottish traditionalists on either one... with a clerical collar? I'm wondering about something more formal than my black barathea Argyle (square silver buttons & braided epaulettes).

With either I would suggest preaching banns rather than a Roman collar. (You might also want to consider cloth covered buttons, as well.)

The potential problem if you wear a clerical collar with a Montrose is that the seam in the middle of the notched collar (normally covered by a jabot) will be exposed. Preaching bands, unless they are unbifurcated, will not cover that seam. No such problem with the Sheriffmuir however.
