    It's quite simple I would think for a business. McDonalds, Burger King and the like all give their employees shirts and hats as a part of their uniform. These folks should do the same, the only difference is that they don't get to keep the kilt when they decide to leave.

    I, like Rocky, wear the kilt to the shop everyday. I also wear a tape measure around my neck. Yes, I am my best advertising, yes it shows my customers I am proud of my product, but more than anything else it shows my customers that there are other ways to wear the kilt without looking like I just came from a pipe band competition.

    Strange though, the ladies in the shop wear pants. I made them pleated aprons to wear, with their names on them, and they wear them sometimes but usually they are in outfits they created themselves.

    You don't know how bad I would like to find another male to work in the shop with me who would like to make and wear kilts.

    This morning I am in a burgundy long sleeved button-down collar shirt, 6 color desert camo kilt, coffee brown kilt hose and ox blood penny loafers.

    If I don't wear the kilt in my own shop I feel I am doing a great dis-service to my customers.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

    OK, Steve, if I ever find myself in need of fleeing across the border to avoid prosecution or other unpleasantry, or if the (insert party here) win the next presidential election, I'll give you a call!
