Raphael, I really do not have a worry, I was interested in others' experiences. I have no worries, and the company has supported my desire to wear a kilt. If you review my posts, I began wearing the kilt because I had determined (at least to some degree), that I am of Welsh descent. That descent gave me a "reason" to wear the kilt. However, in doing further research, it is not a certainty that the Welsh ever wore the kilt/cilt historically (anyone with different information, chime in!). I now where the kilt because I want to, nothing more. I am not convinced that I have any historical/cultural/ancestral claim to wear it.

If you don't present a porfessional attitude, kilted or not, the candidate may not want to join the company even a job offer was made.
Yes, I am a representative of the company, and the company (based in the UK!) has shown that the way I dress is considered a fair and professional representation. I did not realize that what I wore would cast question on my professionalism. As for a candidate not wanting to join the company because I wear a kilt, I would view them the same as someone who would not joing the company because I wore a bow tie, bolero tie, cowboy boots, or a cravat. If what I wear, as opposed to what I represent through my conversations and interactions, is more important to the candidate, then I don't want them. My hire, my choice. Sorry if I seem to be harsh, but somehow you have pushed my buttons, maybe I expected more support or understanding from a XMarks brother with "Chinese Blood, Kilted Heart, One United!" as their signature. I hope that this does not offend you as it is really a lack on my part.
