Kilts in the office

[Sherry]

Just wear the print shirt with a solid kilt--please!

Glad that all is well at work with the kilt. Who knows, you might be promoted because of the kilt, not inspite of it.

sherry, don't tease me like that, I can only dream! Seriously, it really can't hurt to wear the kilt, and will make me more recognizable to more people. When someone mentions me and what I have done on a project or for the company and the other person is not sure who is being referred to, they can qualify and say "You know, the guy in the kilt!" ;)

I have several aloha shirts I wear with Blackwatch.Fashion sense?I don't have ANY sense according to my sister,at least that what she said when she saw me wearing the two together.

Dave already mentioned the previous thread for days appropriate to wear a kilt on, but some of the "biggies" are:

January 25: Robert Burns's birthday

April 6: Tartan Day (in honour of the Declaration of Arbroath, 1320)

April 16: The Battle of Culloden, 1746

June 9: St. Columba's Day

June 24: The Battle of Bannockburn, 1314

November 30: St. Andrew's Day

December 31/January 1: Hogmanay/New Year's Day

Cheers,

Todd

I have also added MY birthday to the list.

Also, if you do have a company dess code (we do) and it simply says "business casual" and the goes to describe things NOT considered, cargo pants, extreme faded or torn jeans, tube tops...you get the idea. Kilts definately fit into the 'casual' catagory. However, I did approch the department director first before the first time and 'ask' their views. This was a few days before Tartan Day AND I had set up a display a week before on Scotland, America and Celebration of Tartan Day. This worked great.

Good Luck,
Richard-

Kilts definately fit into the 'casual' catagory.

Yet, if you wear an Argyle jacket and a tie, it's as formal as a suit. Or if you wear a Prince Charlie and a bow tie, it's the equivalent of a tuxedo (well okay, it's far, far cooler than a tuxedo).

You could casually mention that today is your very merry unbirthday...

Just wear your top hat tilted at a jauntly angle.

Now I'm going to have a picture of Dread in a top hat in my head and not be able to get rid of it!;)
