    A second question just came to me. Is there anything somewhat (even slightly) like a jabot that can be worn as daywear?

    And I thank you for your replies.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Ted, Stop thinking of "White Lacy" Jabots.

    There are a HUGE # of alternatives

    At the time the jacets we now ID as "Scottish" ( PC, Montrose etc) were comonally worn, ( Regency - Victorin periods) There were a LARRG # of styles of "Neck wear"
    Ascots, Cravats, Neck clothes ETC, ETC. & in all colors.

    I often wear an Ascot, or Neck cloth (in various colors. I also have a Black/silver Jabot that I wear for "formal wear"

    Here are some sites that will give you a "TASTE"
