    I do work on the border of the Navajo Nation and many clients are Navajo. Navajo warriors used to wear deerskin skirts.

    Navajos have a clan system, Scots have a clan system
    Navajos raise sheep and spin wool. Scots raise sheep and spin wool.
    Navajos were invaded and conquered, Scots were invaded and conquered.
    Navajos were told not to wear their traditional garments or speak their native language. Scots were told not to wear their traditional garments and told not to speak their native language.
    Navajos were rounded up and sent on the long walk. Scots were rounded up and shipped overseas.

    A lot in common. When Navajo clients ask about the kilt they are seriously seeking to learn more about it.

    Hey Ron, has it crossed your mind to end run the dress code problem and get a raise in the bargain? Why not fill out that application for the vacant position of clinical supervisor? The CEO obviously thinks pretty highly of you. Why not?

    Just a thought.

    Coyote wears kilts too - pants get in the way of his wagging tail when he laughs. And the reactions of the unkilted to you have to appeal to his nature.
