There has been some discussion of late about styles of evening doublets. One of the nicest doublets I have seen belongs to a good friend of mine, from Appin. I am posting these pictures to show that one does not have to go the "cookie cutter route"! It is most unlikely that you will see too many doublets like this one. I am especially taken by the silk tartan lining.

Enjoy

I think you are quite right - it is a beautiful doublet.

If you learn of a breakin in Appin, I was nowhere near at the time. NOWHERE NEAR.

It says Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his ox nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.

Since I am NOWHERE NEAR Appin, your friend there is not my neighbor. And that is a very good thing.

Sandy,

Do you have any photos of this doublet being worn? If not, can you describe whether it is worn with a waistcoat, jabot, bowtie, etc? I very much like it, but am having a hard time picturing it with accessories.

Cordially,

David

Hi David,

I've only seen him wear it with a waistcoat and a jabot.

Cheers,

Sandy,

Thanks.

That's beautiful! What tartan kilt does he wear it with?

[D.A. Guertin]

I could only imagine some of the MacDonalds, or maybe Scrimgeour?!?

The fella must live in the tropics. You'd freeze dressed like that in Scotland.
