Sorry guys, I did not intend for my joke about powdered hair to lead to jokes about age in relation to the wearing of a jabot.

I just have in my mind paintings of men wearing the jabot or something like it along with long powdered hair or a wig. It was a joke about my own long hair and not age.

I own a Sherrifmuir. Wonderful doublet, hot but a great place hang my military metals. I'm proud to have served for 21 years in USAF and the Sherrifmuir really sets them off. I also have a mess-dress jacket that works wonderfully for a kilt jacket on hotter, less formal occasions.

I've slowly come to the conclution that these things are above my status; though they are nice to think about.

And I would gladly wear a lace jabot, but if one is not comfortable with wearing one , I understand.

I'm planning on looking up all the types of attire that can be worn with a jabot.

Rub it in!

As I've said before, I wouldn't go as far as to powder my hair.

No, I just think the jabot adds a flavor of long ago times that I saw in paintings when I was a kid. What can I do...?

And I second beloitpiper's question because I seem to remember reading something about it being worn with a daywear outfit.

* Never mind, I looked up what I had read and I was mistaken. *

LOL! I'd be too tempted to blow my nose in mine. Actually, at our black tie preferred Rabbie Burns Supper, a couple of the more aged guys out do the rest of us by wearing the jabot, et. al. They look good; so, I think I will wait until my hair turns completely white before I venture. At the rate my hair is going, I may need to place an order within the next 5 years, anyway.

Jabots certainly are not the provenance of the aged! I wear one, as do both of these young men:

The Duke of Argyll:


Lord Lovat:


Oh, and that's Lovat's sister, Honor, BTW.

Remind me: is the jabot white tie, or can it be worn for any formal events?

I believe you can wear it with either
