1st Post--Opinions about neckwear and the Sheriffmuir Doublet

[CeilidhDoc]

One of the things to remember is that the Sheriffmuir is in effect a two part garment, usually worn with a high cut waistcoat (six button), usually round neck.

A full jabot will cover and hide the top of the waistcoat. A stock, bow tie or a cravat will not.

A Sheriffmuir can be worn without a waistcoat or with a three button waistcoat, but doesn't that defeat the object of wearing a Sheriffmuir?

Is there some rule for white tie that the top of the waistcoat for a sheriffmuir must be covered over by the neckwear of which I am not aware?

I actually quite like the sheriffmuir with the top of the waistcoat showing but perhaps this is not proper?

School me as this reply was not one I anticipated and perhaps there is something I need to know here.

Cheers.
