I work at Stanford University in the IT section of the Uni Libraries, and truth be told, I just showed up with one, one day. I got a couple of comments from various people...
"So, kilt today" from my boss. That's it. I don't think he's ever said another word about it.
"Is this the anniversary of some great Scottish victory?" From Greg the primary sys admin who's a history buff....
...and some BIG eyeballs from some of the students.
I've only had one contrary experience at work, which I related on this board. I "managed" it remarkably well for me, and it's now a non-issue, since the Director of the Libraries publically told me that he liked my kilt and "We don't see enough of that tradition around here." I wore my Stillwater Black Watch the day of the Library Advisory Board meeting (I did tech support) and received lots of compliments and was heavily flirted with by some of the *Extremely* senior (as in University hierarchy, not age) women in attendance.
so now I'm kilted at work 2 days a week on the average (today is one of them) and right now, it's a non-issue.
I know that doesn't help you a lot, but that's my story.
