    Didn't realize there were so many IT people around here. I freelance part time fixing/installing/maintaining computers and networks for small offices in the area. There are some jobs I can go to in a kilt without a problem and others I wouldn't. I get to know the atmosphere of the business before I bring up a kilt. It's just one of those things - when I'm in their office or business I come off as a representative of them so I respect their decisions. The rest of the time I'm in a home office so it's whatever I'm in the mood for.

    I am a Sales Engineer for a big IT Services company. Most of my customer interaction is over the phone. I work a kilt to the holiday party and got a very positive response and have started wearing a UK about once a week.

    Dress is very casual, just can't be sloppy or offensive (there is not actual dress code, my manager and I spent about an hour trying to find one- he's supportive- we were actually just doing pre-emptive investigations looking for official support in case anyone had an issue with the kilt).

    I once or twice a year I see customers face to face, I usually wear a suit. I am there to support a sales person, and would wear whatever they asked. Here's to hoping I get asked to wear the kilt eventually.

    I'm considered uniformed personnel being a firefighter so no kilts at work. Being new to kilting most of the guys I work with don't know I wear a kilt outside of work. A few know, and recently I've been questioned a bit about it but haven't recieved any negative feedback, which I expect, Boston being as parochial as it is.
