    It's just a term we use here to differentiate between common men's clothing styles when wearing trousers and suits, as opposed to Highland (kilted) styles which follow a different set of rules. So far as I know, it's incorrect for a man wearing trousers to tuck his entire tie into his trousers. But it's done quite often with kilts.
    This is the style in which I usually prefer (tucking the tie underneath the top of the kilt), yet I do not tuck the tip of my tie all of the time; it simply depends on my mood that day. Of course, a waistcoat does wonders, but simply cannot be worn all of the time due to temperature issues, i.e. - if it's too bloody hot out! By the way Tobus, your new tweed jacket looks very smart. What a lovely pattern!




    Cheers,
