Sheriffmuir tie options

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

Hi guys. I've got a really nice sheriffmuir doublet and I'm planning to wear it at the upcoming Ferintosh Burns Supper.
I've tried to look into detail on what, other than a lace jabotm can be worn with such a jacket. I have found several websites that contradict each other on whether a Highland cravat or bow-tie can be worn with it.

I'm thinking of the Highland cravat (note: not a ruche/scrunchy tie) option, as the cravat is tied rather plainly and left quite flat, however I'm not sure if there are any other options to this? I normally like to be quite experimental and contemporary with Highland wear, however I feel this is one jacket that requires a bit more of a traditional setting around it. I basically think a lace jabot can look pretty good, but I'm not up for wearing one at the moment.

What do you guys think would be acceptable with the sheriffmuir doublet?

I suppose it is easier to say what doesn't work with the Sheriffmuir: Bow ties and four-in-hand ties.

For something a bit less formal than a jabot and lace cuffs your best bet is probably a stock tie (as worn by equestrians) with a pin at the throat, and plain cuffs with simple cuff links. I've no idea what a "Highland cravat" is, but from your description it sounds like a stock tie. Stock ties are white, wrap around the neck, and tie in front. You should be able to get one at any reasonably sized tack shop.

From what I understand it is pretty much this:

Okay-- that's exactly what I was referring to, and it is perfect for a slightly less formal look (more along the lines of black tie) when wearing a Sherrifmuir.

Go for it, my lad!

I agree with MoR.

I agree. I wore one of those, when as a house guest I forgot the proper dress tie and as I had been hunting( UK definition,horse and hounds) all day I had a stock to hand. It worked a treat!Try the look with the jacket undone.
