Styles come and styles go. Ties hang short or way down low. I don't mind either. I have worn them a little below the top of the kilt, just short of it, and quite short, (as in the days of Oliver Hardy). All different looks, all nice. I also wear a bow tie often. I wear a waistcoat often but do not wear one in the warm summer days. I have never tucked one in my kilt top. That time may come but I just haven't found it necessary yet.

Tobus, you have an enviable collection of jackets. That second one is a stunner. Is it Harris?
