    Ron, great story! But in my experience (almost as long kilted as you), most people never make it beyond the kilt, no matter how long they have seen you wearing it. Once their eyes make it down to the kilt, anything below is automatically invisible, and pretty much the shirt being worn is as well. I have actually had a desire to wear some really horrendous hose and shoes to work, just to see if anybody really notices. I am thinking pink hose with green Peter Pan shoes, weathered Lamont kilt, brown sporran, black belt, and burgundy golf shirt. Any bets on if anybody would say anything?

    OK, now that I have that picture burned into my mind, I am glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that! That is priceless!! I say go for it!

    That is a correct assumption that the line of sight stops at the unusual apparel. I wore a Resistol Straw Roper cowboy hat to work (I am a comm tech with my local school district) and everybody commented about the hat, missing the levi's I wore instead of the contract required carhartt chocolate work pants.

    Hmmm, maybe a chocolate canvas casual kilt next.....

    For sure Ray!,

    The chocolate UK Workman's is a beauty. Guessing it'd meet your contract specs "technically" sort of....kind of...maybe....

    Or, no one would notice...

    Oh No, I can already see that showing up in P1M's Do's and Don'ts thread.

    Congrats for having the health concerns to get yourself checked but to someone who is still labeled obese, I would love to hear 24% instead of "you've still got to lose more".

    Hmmh, let me see, what are the stakes? I can probably tie this into some kind of celebration. Now, where can I buy Peter Pan shoes? And no, I will NOT contact the Peter Pan guy on the Peabody thread.

    Nonsense, Ron. You're no fool, old or otherwise. If the worst thing that happens to me today is that a sock falls down, I'll call it a good day.
