KCW, Archangel DOES have a point. I mean, once you get acceptance from your boss, and possibly HIS boss, or someone else with some authority, then there comes a point where you just DO it.

As the old saying goes, it's easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission.

Let's say you clear it with someone else in the company "chain". If that's your contactperson in HR, then cool. Then you just wear your kilt. You will, of course, be sure to wear it in an entirely professional manner. If you work in a financial institution and suits and ties are the accepted norm, then you'll need to drop some cash on a real, and I mean REAL kilt jacket and possibly a waistcoat to go underneath it.. No "budget fakes" by altering a sportscoat, get a real jacket.

Think on it. How many suits or sportcoat/slacks combinations do you have for work? I bet you have at least 4-5. You'll need 4-5 kilt/jacket combinations, too if you're going to do this full-time. That's some serious cash. Start out with one and see how it goes and if you like it.

Bu yeah, be courteous, be smart, document everything with memos and e-mail, but don't go LOOKING for trouble. I'd say once you have your bosses OK and the OK of one person in HR, then document their acceptance in an e-mail or a memo and then just GO for it. At that it's up to someone inthe company or in HR to file a complaintand then have the HR department chase it down. That's a LOT different from asking ten different people in positions of authority, because if you do that, you'll be sure to find at least one who won't like it,and then you're hosed.
