I often wonder about this too. I no longer live in Scotland but still wear a kilt almost daily but on my last visit to the Scottish borders, I never saw another male in a kilt, even in shops selling them.

If I had a shop selling highland wear, I would make sure the staff, male or female, were also kilted. What better way locally to advertise your wares and encourage sales? Tartan ties were a very poor substitute, although a number of the female staff I saw in various shops wore kilted skirts of varying lengths.

I have gathered from his posts that Steve Ashton wears a kilt to serve in his shop. So it can be done, I even wore mine occasionally in my convenience store, although not on days when I was likely to be cleaning the ceiling air conditioner or top shelves!
I entirely agree with you about staff in a kilt shop should be kilted. In many of the Glasgow shops and there are quite a few, there's not too many kilted staff about. You are right is saying the best advert for the kilt would be the staff wearing the kilt correctly themselves
