Where do you work?

[cormacmacguardhe]

Having not been gainfully employed for several years, due to choice by both my wife and myself, I just recently started working at the local Wal-mart. As I said in another thread, I am the guy at the door who welcomes you to Wal-mart. Do not believe that a kilt would be on the approved list of clothing. However, having worn my kilt to Wal-mart on my off days, I have gotten questions from some of my co-workers about wearing it to work. Maybe, someday.

I work in a federal training center - I can wear the kilt on the days I don't have to be in uniform. I started wearing it to work when my coworkers complained I wasn't being "casual" enough on casual Fridays.

I work at a financial printer, as a desktop/convertions operator, while I was on the night shift we came up with an idea to have an international night. I wore my kilt to work for the first time, and brought in a haggis, two steak pies and homemade shortbread.

Well 2 years and a few international nights later, I can wear my kilt to work anytime I want, a couple of weeks ago they were training me for something new, I wore the kilt on monday, well by tuesday there were two of us kilted,
if I come in in pants people are asking me why.

I have had to say I only have so many pairs of kilt hose, but I do take donations for my kilt habbit and any contributions would be appreciated.

Like streetcar and norbydog, I am in Law Enforcement.

You might refer to me as a "flying sheepdog".

DHS/TSA-FAMS.

Wearing a kilt on the job would make me stand out too much--my job is to blend in.

Off duty, however, ALL BETS ARE OFF!!!!

(Maybe I could go to the range kilted...Hmmmmm, breezy...)

A couple of years ago, I thought about applying to be a sky marshal. I figured who would suspect the guy with the pony tail, ear ring and utilikilt.

This has been an interesting thread to read.

Here's a new answer: I am a Vice President at a full-service advertising agency. All those wonderful radio and TV commercials, newspaper ads, direct mail and freeway billboards - that's what we do.

I could probably get away with wearing a kilt to the office, but I would never wear one to see a client (unless we already had an understanding). Now that I have my first kilt, I'll probably give it a shot tomorrow!

I am a Physical Therapist and would not be able to work well in a kilt in the clinic, as I frequently need to have a knee-up on the treatment table, etc.
I have been trying to get my wife more interested in things Scottish, tartans, so that I can eventually GET a kilt. So far I have a Fife-District necktie (grandfather), a Gunn "swoosh" tartan baseball cap and a Royal Stewart baseball cap. I've noticed since getting into the Scottish heritage stuff several months ago that many of my plaid work/weekend-shirts have identifiable tartans. Planning to get a Campell Modern (Great Uncle in law) tie soon. Waiting for a black vest in the mail.
Thanks for all the great information, support and humor regarding kilts!

What a diverse crowd. I see a lo of white collars out there. I my self am a semi white collar, I am a Shop Foreman for a school bus shop in the state of South Carolina. I am one of those lucky state employees. And no we don't always stand around with our hands in our pockets. I wear my kilt into work and change out into my uniform for my job and after work change back out into my kilt. So in a sense of the matter I do wear my kilt to my job. I always seem to get the skirt comments a good bit, but I just find a reason to go right back at them. I also freelance a a still photographer, and since I have started wearing the kilt in November I have wore the kilt to all photo shoots I have been to. It seems to be a good conversation starter.
