Vest for Wedding

[Chas]

Are the two collars (shirt and vest), going to be rather bulky round your neck with the vest done up?

THats a good question. My Lady used to do a lot of Civil War clothing, and said that she has the pattern. if so, I was going to see about perhaps doing the vest in a lighter fabric than wool. My other thought was to wear a cotton shirt with a banded collar to try and minimize the choke hold.

Most articles of clothing that have a high neck line like this need to be custom made for me anyways, as i have a rather large neck (20" last I measured) but if I were to buy, say a dress shirt with a 20" neck, they usually end up looking a circus tent and need to be taken in considerably.

There are plenty of shirts that have an "I-forget-what-the-collar-is-called" flat kind of collar. I think JAS Townsend offer to make their shirts with that kind of collar. More like this one!
