    Prince Charlie alternatives

    So we've all seen Prince Charlie jackets worn at formal events, but I'd like to discuss the alternatives: doublets.

    There's quite an assortment.

    The Sherrifmuir


    The Montrose


    The Regulation


    The Kenmore



    Discuss.

    I like doublets, such a hard choice between them all.

    I wasn't going to comment, I did anyway, but I am having a perfectly horrible day, possibly the worst in a year or two so I've re-edited my post and shall move on to other threads.

    I tried to vote earlier and my head nearly exploded with all the choices for the doublets... aiieee!

    It's all good, honestly. There are things about all of them that I like, but... I can't choose just one!

    I love how the Montrose plays off the wide shoulders/chest and the waistline, but the details on the others with the tails (not sure what they're called, but you probably know what I mean) and cuffs are nice, too.

    I voted Sherrifmuir, as I really like the look of it. But I don't think I'd wear a Jabot or lace cuffs. I'm simple in what I wear (...he says as a member of a kilt forum...), and I don't see myself wearing those.

    So, if I had to pick one to wear myself, it'd be the Regulation Doublet.

    If the Kenmore looked "right" with a bow tie...

    I do remember seeing doublets, with jabot and cuffs of course, but sadly, I don't remember them in fine detail. That being said, they all can be very striking in my opinion, so I do understand...

    Hi All,

    RD for me. I think I have the only one in all of Northern Minnesota. The tashes keep my skinny butt warm.



    My boy likes a PC with a plaid:



    We see eye to eye on the fox sporran and waistcoats. We're hoping to find matching diced hose.

    Cheers,

    Kevin

    As I own a Montrose, I really did have to vote for the Montrose. Oh Greg you could have used my photo if you wanted.
