I woke up this morning and decided to just put it on and go. I was going to wear trousers till work got out and then swich over th the kilt. So far all great positive comments. The hottest girl on the floor looked at me and said i looked HOT! So i got that going for me.....
I work at a DOD lab and figured it would not be appropriate, but my boss is 100% Irish and he said it was fine.
Feels great...

I've got my green Wallace Hunting on this morning. I had to take my son to catch a train this morning and got some quizzical looks a couple of "thumbs up" but no comments. Now at work I expect a little razzing. I too, told my boss about wearing the kilt and I got a cool and quiet "OK" with an admonition to make sure sure that "regimental" was not the style of the day.
Happy St. Padraig's to all!!

You are not alone today. Today is my 1 year anniversary in wearing kilts to work. Today I'm sporting the my Gordon USA Kilt with brown leathers.

Damn, I look good :mrgreen: Now the question is will I get pinched even though I'm wearing green

I'm rocking the Ireland's National 5 yard wool (16 oz) today. It's a nice cool crisp mroning. Got a couple thumbs up walking down the street this morning.

As someone else said on the thread about wearing the kilt to work for the first time... Keep your head up, chest out, look people in the eye and SMILE! If you don't cause a "problem" wearing it, they're more likely to allow it again and again!

If anyone asks "the question" in a "semi up tight" work environment, I suggest using the retort, "I don't ask you what YOU'RE wearing under your pants, do I?" OR just wear underwear and if you get "the question", answer that you are wearing boxers today out of respect for management.

Well, back from first day kilted at work. Great success (I knew it would be), and with all colleagues and students there was only one anticipated stupid question, and that from the female dean. She was corrected by others before I could retort, and was obviously embarrassed. :rolleyes:

Kilted to work next week, but in the mean time a few stouts at home and at the local. Kilted? Stupid question!

PS
Nothing new, just a confirmation:
the kilt is not a mere garment, but an attitude

I'm wearing my Hector Russell Cumming Hunting (ancient colours) today, as I have to go and give a wee presentation about St. Patrick's Day to a local nursing home this afternoon. So far I've only had a few double-takes from the students; the student selling shamrocks from the college's greenhouse loved it when I bought some just a few minutes ago for my office! :mrgreen:

Cheers,

Todd
