Lads in Plaids Making Waves

[UmAnOnion]

Fortunately, I don't have a real dress code at work. It's just a general notion of wearing "appropriate" office clothing. Now I don't wear a kilt at work all the time; I tend to wear it for special days (although sometimes the special day is a day I felt like wearing the kilt;) ).

Of course, working as a civilian for the US Army, they are VERY careful about not doing anything that could be considered discriminatory, for fear of Equal Opportunity investigations.

One day when I was kilted, the Director walked into the restroom while I was in there and paused for a second when weeing the kilt. He joked that he thought he had walked into the wrong room when he saw the "skirt".

I don't ram the kilt down their throats and I am respectful of their wishes. If there is a special event or meeting where they would rather I not wear the kilt, they just ask me not to and I'm fine with that.

Back to the thread though, it is great that a company has the kilt as a uniform. What I would like to see is a company make openly declare that the kilt is an accepted alternative in their dress policy.

my company does "casual fridays" where the dress code is a bit more relaxed: no tie required, sports jackets, dockers and the like.

I doubt if it woudl ever fly if i were to come into the office wearing one of my kilts, but with NY tartan week coming up i might just give it a try..... and if it doesnt work out I'm heading for DENVER!!!


p.s. dave - LOVING your signature - any friend of Family Guy is a friend of mone - especially if he is wearing a kilt :-D
