My New Doublet

[Galician]

At the risk of dating myself, I think it looks snazzy.

I've never really looked at the doublet. On a practical note, can you button it?

[Kilted Jeeper]

I think it looks great. Very smart. I too would be interested in learning more about the "tie" you are wearing in the photo.

I love the buckle brogues and Argyll style hose together! Quite smart!

[Detroitpete]

I have to say---that is SHARP!!!!!!! Looks great. I may be the next in line to place an order.

The tie is a Ceangail (kon-YAIL)... a la J. Byous in Savannah Georgia, Mac Ghille Sheathanaich made it because I am not a Lace Jabot kind of guy... I think it ties the look together it is in my Tartan.

Another alternative to the lace jabot would be a nice silk cravat, as I am wearing below.


I've also toyed with the idea of wearing the Sheriffmuir with a regular neck tie, though I'm still not sure what I think about it.

It seems to me to be a cross between scottish and german. Not my cup of tea at all.

Maybe I'm too much of a traditionalist.

I'm not sure what about it seems "German" to BCAC. It's a Sherrifmuir doublet, which is a fairly traditional style of Highland attire. <snip>

I'd be interested to know what is German about that doublet? I agree with Matt that this is a Sherrifmuir, albeit with a some small idiosyncratic details.

Looks great! I think it looks very much like a confederate jacket from the War of Norther Agression. (That is the civil war for those of you educated in the northern states). ;)

[Cowher]

I think you look fantastic scotchmaster. I don't love buckle brogues for me but I think they look really nice on you. I also love the doublet. It's different but still classic.

[BCAC]

It's probably the "facing" under the front buttons that made me think German.

Without the "facing" it would work better for me.
