Clan tartan ties, unforgivable sin?

[Tarheel]

My main problem with Mr. Connery's picture (and this is mentioned by Fossilhunter) is the wearing of a full length tie with a waistcoat.

I agree that the tie and waistcoat you mention are problematic. They seem to conflict in length and style.
That said, I have vests that a long tie seem to fit and compliment when worn with my kilt.

I want to thank you for your comment (I see it is your first post) even if you and I joined the Rabble on same day a few years ago. Keep providing your thoughts as we all need to see things through different eyes at times.
