What do people think of knit neck ties worn as a part of Highland attire?

There have been several threads lately discussing various styles of neck tie with kilt, but generally the discussion revolves around tartan ties, regimental stripe ties, etc. I don't think I've ever seen knit ties mentioned.

House of Cheviot makes knit ties in many of the same colors as their kilt hose. I purchased one in claret for myself about a year ago and have enjoyed wearing it both with my kilts and with regular saxon wear. Oddly enough, I get a lot of comments on it when wearing it with slacks; generally compliments from older men.

So what do people think? Here are a couple of photos of mine.
