Undecided about the workplace.

The way I broke into wearing kilts regularly was a couple of Halloween costume days at work. Then I wore one on St Pat's day, and then Tartan Day. After getting the OK from management since they have seen me in kilts, and working where diversity is welcome, I began wearing them every other day. I've built up a collection of SportKilts, which allows me to wear different tartans, and they are pretty much wash and wear. Thank goodness they sew down the pleats and add belt loops now! The AKs and UKs initially got the "sk**t comments, but have become accepted as well. It definitely makes for comfortable days at work! It is also interesting to observe how people greet you in pants vs kilts.

I'm a Landscape Designer and foreman so it was easy for me to be kilted at work. I asked the owner of the company (and also my supervisor) and was told "If you're man enough, go ahead". It's been almost a year now and so far it's been over 90% positive.
Being kilted at work is not something everyone (even if they want to) can do. There may be dress codes, safety regulations and other things that prevent it. Enjoy wearing the kilt whenever you can, even if it's not full time.

I repair clocks and sell them too. While I was at the county fair with my booth, I was kilted the whole time. So far, two people have come up to me, even while I am in a different city, and even if I don't have my kilt on at that time, they remember me.

DALE.

In my case it literally came about by accident; I pulled muscles and couldn't get into trousers so rather than stay off work wore a kilt to the office. To my surprise it was so favourably received that after the muscles healed I continued to wear the kilt to work once or twice per week.

Im a floor layer, so i dont think i could pull it off. You cant exactly wear out the knees in a kilt i wouldnt think, not to mention that i spend my whole day kicking carpet and getting up and down off my knees. none of that would go over real good in a kilt i wouldnt think. might be a little too revealing for the customer
