Where do you work?

Unfortunately, I am in management for a major electronics retail chain (Radioshack) and the dress code forbids the wearing of kilts (not even on halloween, sheesh), I wish I could just say that it's part of my religion but my DM is a pretty smart fellow. Maybe next christmass party.....

I've often wondered if the Radio Shack dress code wasn't stolen from Mormon missionaries.

Wow. I'm finding it very interesting to see what everyone does for a living. I'll add my job to the list. I've been an office equipment service tech (copier guy) for the last 13 years. There never seems to be any desk space available to work on so I am constantly working on the floor. A kilt would get trashed very quickly from sitting on the floor and obviously not protect my knees while kneeling, not to mention getting covered with toner. So no kilt at my job. That being said, today was my last day at this type of job and I am moving on to sterilizer service in a few weeks so I doubt hospitals regs. will allow me to be kilted there either. Oh well.

I'm a newspaper reporter and editor. I've worn a kilt to work just once - on St. Patrick's Day this year. It would probably not be a problem inside the office, but much of my work is not in the office.

For example, just yesterday, I attended a news conference with Senator Hillary Clinton. I'd have been quite the distraction, sitting there in a kilt.

I'm a retired Air Force officer and teach as an adjunct at three colleges. I teach photography, history of photography and philosophy. I also do research in the local museums photo archives where I frequently wear a kilt. I've worn a kilt at all three colleges and none seem to mind. All my deans are women, and they all approve of my wearing a kilt.

OW! You're post just gave me that involuntary "man-cringe!"

I'm an English instructor (not teacher - they'd have to pay us more) in Japan, there's no way I'd be able to wear a kilt to work, my company's way too conservative for that!

However, I have hatched a plan for a Scotland theme lesson where I will put it on.

I know the students (ages 13 to 70-odd) are going to love it!
