Great Evening from Central N.Y.
Hope you are all well,
I'm John, from C.N.Y., upstate that is
where cows outnumber people
I wear my kilt mostly to play paintball in, but have also worn it to the great american irish fest
wore it to work, once, just once
drew alot of attention, the women loved it, the guys busted my chops, it was all good
BUT,
my manager had a huge problem with it as there is a company uniform poilcy and wearing a kilt was pushing the boundries of the rules

Well met John. Lots of our members have kilted at work problems. I couldn't for some types of jobs I do but could pull it off occasionally. I choose not to but get the chance to kilt in public often. I hope you will be able to also. Welcome from the deep South.

Welcome to XMarks. If you get a chance, you should go visit Kilt Kamp 2017 which is going on in Clinton, New York, right now. Not sure how far that is from you....

a bit amused
grew up on long island, folks moved upstate in 1969, I know where Loudonville is and am familiar with Albany area
northeast of Albany 40 miles, along Vt. border, moved farther west in '84
and yes, I now live about 25 miles east of Clinton NY
know exactly where the college is where Kilt Kamp is being held
but alas, I work upwards of 70hrs a week, no time for anything extra

It is 1100+ miles, 17.5 hours driving. But our knowledge of where your cities are is probably the same as your knowledge of ours. 
The hielan' man he wears the kilt, even when it's snowin';
He kens na where the wind comes frae, But he kens fine where its goin'.
