    "How long should your tie be worn with a kilt?"

    Hmmm, about even with the points of the collar? I habitually wear a bow tie, which effectively keeps it out of my soup.

    I thought like me, your whiskers would take care of the soup problem? I know it does with me, they catch the soup long before it reaches the tie...LoL...

    You just have to change your technique.

    I've been wearing bowties every day for the last couple of months, kilted and without the kilt (that'd be with p@nts, ye dirty-minded scoundrels!).

    When I wear neckties, I like the length to fall about where the top of a kilt waistband would fall. Hence, I tie them about the same length whether worn with a kilt or p@nts.
