Dolly Tartan

[Panache]

I've seen this picture before, this is from a fashion show. Fashion shows are meant to play with and push the conventions of normal clothing.

Arquette's outfit is a bit much, but it is a fashion show, and let's face it she does pull it off. So bully for her.

I hadn't noticed before that Thomas Jane's sporran appears to a full mask! If you look closely it seems there is a bird head and neck draping down for the closure (Thomas must have really hated that peacock!).

My biggest objection is the strange thing around Thomas Jane's neck. Based on it's position I assume it is trying to be a tie.

It fails.

Badly.

But, both of them look like they are having fun, so bully for them!

Panache, Thomas Jane looks to be wearing a cravat or a rouche (Not sure of the difference) rather than a traditional tie. It seems like these have made a big come back int he past year on vendor sites. Of course I think they look a lot better with a waistcoat that on their own. Here are a few examples:

I really like the Elliott tartan he's wearing.

There seemed to be something missing in his outfit that I couldn't quite place, but Colin's comment about a vest made me see it: He's not wearing a belt.

The cravat looks nice, if that's what it is, but it would look better with a vest, I think. But that's just me.

Cheers,

Colin,

Thanks for the information, I am certainly glad he wasn't wearing the evidence of a foiled assasination attempt by garrote.

I read up on them. Even though they are the forerunner to both, they seem an uncomfortable midway point in terms of appearance between a tie and an ascot. I agree they certainly look better with a waistcoat.

Failing attack by a Thuggee, I think I shall avoid them.

Cheers

If there is no vest he should be wearing a belt
