Montrose Doublet
I need some thoughts on wearing a Montrose, which I've just had made for me
I hate anything around my wrists so will probably not wear lace cuffs. For other doublets the advice given is often that lace cuffs are optional, but you never hear that for a Montrose, implying cuffs are compulsory. Any thoughts on that and how much of a fashion faux pas it is not to wear them?
Next, as an ordained cleric I often wear a clerical shirt (usually black) with clerical collar with an Argyll or PC. Many other clerics do something very similar. If I were to wear a clerical collar with a Montrose and add some "tabs" or "bands" at the neck do others, especially other ordained clergy, think that might be acceptable or is it perhaps better to forego the clericals and simply wear the jabot?
For the none ordained a "tab" is often seen on Presbyterean clergy and on barristers (Advocates). They are two vertical bands of stiffened white cotton, about an inch wide by 5 inches long, that replicate the ends of the cravat of old dangling from the neck where they were tied
