    I concur with the T-shirt idea, Phil. I did that at a summer wedding!

    Tahshar, doublets with cuffs and jabot are actually considered white tie not black tie. A step above.

    Jamiekerr, no one has mentioned this, and I'm not sure if you know, but it's pronounced JA-BOE. Just so you don't ask for a JABBITT!

    And I might add, in regards to the photo....

    The model is wearing ghillie brogues with a Montrose Doublet. Those shoes are better suited to jacket & necktie, not formalwear.

    I don't get bent outta shape when it's done, but formal footwear should be buckle brogues, also known as 'Mary Jane shoes'. TartanWeb carries them.

    And correctly, the model is wearing the proper hose.

    Slainte yall,
    steve

    I draw the line at the lace cuffs myself. A personal thing I know but I think they are just a bit OTT (and they are liable to go into your soup!). The jabot is a bit special though and great if you want to stand out from the crowd.

    True, but they work quite well for straining the lumps out of one's soup.

    I did not know, and that was actually going to be one of my next questions lol.

    Is this the style shoe you are referring to at tartan web? "culloden"


    And secondly. That gentleman's hose are absolutely beautiful. Where might I find a pair like that? Err...the hose I mean
