I have a Highland cravat as well that I picked up from Tartan Web to wear with my Geoffrey Doublet. The traditional lacy jabot and cuffs are a little too much for me, and the HC made a good alternative. Interestingly enough, the only place I found one was at Tartan Web.
What I was wondering about is the standard everyday neck tie and how best to wear it with a kilt.

Interesting! I always like knowing where words come from.
Here is a pic from the KA website of a tie being tucked in. It also appears that a cummerbund is being worn:

Here is another with the tie hanging free and to the top of the belt:

Here we see the tie worn with waistcoat:

Here is a pic of the Highland cravat for those who might be wondering just what it is. It comes in long and short, this example from the camp of the former:

Finally... How about a Jabot with waistcoat in funky matching tartan?!
