I did not give a lot of thought in the tucking - I mainly did it to make the kilt fit a little better. I ordered a 42, but would have been more than fine with a 40 and the sweater just made it seem to fit better when tucked in. I seem to remember that the Royal Scots wear the Hunting Stewart and it just seemed appropriate to combine that tartan with a military sweater.
I have to admit that I too like the look of the sweater and the tuck, and have went and bought a Grey and a Black 'commando' style to match my other kilts for the winter. They are great for outdoors, etc., but do get a bit uncomfortable when indoors for an extended period of time.
