Accessories: what each piece does
Accessories carry the look
In menswear the accessories do more work than the garments, because a plain black shirt and trousers become gothic through what goes over them. A harness adds structure across the chest, a jabot or necktie fills the collar, and a studded belt breaks the waistline. One or two are usually enough; the range is built to be combined sparingly.
| Piece | Sits at | Adds | Worn with |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chest harness | Shoulders, ribs | Structure | Shirt, T-shirt |
| Jabot | Collar | Formality | Waistcoat, coat |
| Necktie | Collar | Line | Shirt |
| Studded belt | Waist | Break, hardware | Trousers, kilt |
Fit
Harnesses and belts are sized by adjustment range rather than by garment size, so measure over the clothes you intend to wear them with. Gloves and hats carry their own centimetre tables on the product page.
Frequently asked
- What is a jabot?
- A ruffled or lace panel worn at the collar, borrowed from eighteenth-century dress. It fastens at the neck and sits over the shirt front.
- Is a body harness worn over or under clothes?
- Over. It is a visible layering piece, which is why the hardware is finished on both sides.
- Are the accessories unisex?
- Most harnesses, belts and neckwear are. Sizing ranges differ, so check the adjustment range on the product page.
- How many accessories should be worn at once?
- One or two. The range is drafted to combine sparingly, with the harness or the neckwear leading, not both.
