    You do know that Montrose doublets can get very warm? If your evening out is going to include much in the way of physical exertion-- such as dancing-- you might want to reconsider your choice of styles.

    Yep, I had heard that. I don't mind a little heat... i spent a couple years in Iraq and Kuwait, as well as my groomsmen, so dancing in a doublet under the air conditioning shouldn't bother us too much. I don't mind sacrificing a little comfort in favor of the look in this case.
