As you can tell from my first pic where I wore it incorrectly, I'm still getting the hang of what is not a popular look in the circles in which I typically travel, although it certainly was in the 1970s as some old funeral footage attests.

Sorry for not replying sooner but I was really just giving my personal view. The jabot in the photo I posted above dates from the early 1950's and is the size and style I am used to. This is not to say there is anything wrong with yours, just that it is different. Part of kilt-wearing involves expressing your own identity so why not?
