No, I just think the jabot adds a flavor of long ago times that I saw in paintings when I was a kid. What can I do...?

And I second beloitpiper's question because I seem to remember reading something about it being worn with a daywear outfit.

* Never mind, I looked up what I had read and I was mistaken. *

LOL! I'd be too tempted to blow my nose in mine. Actually, at our black tie preferred Rabbie Burns Supper, a couple of the more aged guys out do the rest of us by wearing the jabot, et. al. They look good; so, I think I will wait until my hair turns completely white before I venture. At the rate my hair is going, I may need to place an order within the next 5 years, anyway.

Jabots certainly are not the provenance of the aged! I wear one, as do both of these young men:

The Duke of Argyll:

Lord Lovat:

Oh, and that's Lovat's sister, Honor, BTW.

Love the buttons, and what is wrong with looking a bit different from the crowd? I thought that was a big part of the reason why we wear a kilt in the first place.
And while I was unable to convince McMurdo, for all those dandies out there I have these beautiful shoe buckles. Just the thing to set off that doublet with jabot and cuffs and much more original than the plain steel ones -

I'm not saying that young men shouldn't wear the jabot. I'm saying, pass the lobster.
