So You're Going To Wear The Kilt To Work

[Riverkilt]

This board has had varied stories of guys wearing kilts at work with a full range of responses from employers.

Over the last three years of my wearing, and not wearing, kilts at work I've managed to have only seven "objections" to my wearing kilts come forth. All of these have been shared with me by either coworkers, or supervisors in private conversations where I've encouraged them to tell me the truth.

So, in the hopes it may help other guys be better prepared for encountering objections to wearking kilts at work here they are.

1. People think you're gay. (Well, what an honor, thank you. I'm proud to support diversity)

2. I don't know if he's wearing anything under his kilt. (That's good, you're not supposed to be looking under there)

3. A friend said she saw you "hanging out." ( I don't think so. That's anatomically impossible for me. I've come to believe that wishful ladies often mistake my hairy, chubby thighs for my bits. Time for an anatomy lesson)

4. People have seen your tartan boxer shorts when you're seated. (Well good, then they know what I'm wearing under my kilt and I always wear something under my kilt when at work)

5. I can't stand to look at him. (Well, then don't)

6. You're just calling attention to yourself. (Ummm, no. But I think those ladies with the plunging necklines are)

7. It looks unprofessional. (Didn't they use that line on women when they came to work in pants in the 50's?)

So, hope these silly thoughts help others be prepared for the fault-finders in their world.
