Length of our flashes/ties in CIVILIAN kilt matters is absolutely a personal choice of that there is no argument. Where I think possibly some get led astray is taking "dress" hints from military uniform pictures, which has nothing, should have nothing anyway, to do with our CIVILIAN dress decisions. Civilian pipe band matters of dress do muddy the waters a tad, but really even civilian pipe bands wear uniforms and as such they should be not really considered in your "dress" choices.
I don't know about anyone else here, but my intention is to avoid the "windsock" effect, but I make no exact measurements, so it does depend on the hose on the particular day, turn down length, hose length, position of the moon,speed of dressing and whether attention is paid to it all in the first place. So at a guess, I doubt if my flashes are ever the same length from one day to the next. But I do try to avoid them being too long.
