The girls at my local UPS Store hit on me like crazy... if I weren't married, there would be kiltie menage in the making.

First time I went in, I was wearing my saffron and returning a rented PC to The Celtic Croft. The girls gushed all over me and asked me all kinds of questions, which needless to say I answered as in as concise a manner as possible. They told me that there would be a lot of trouble if the delivery drivers were allowed to wear to wear kilts. So maybe there is a good reason behind it after all!

Brian, that's the coolest tid-bit of news I've heard in a long time. I really hope the kilt is approved. Even if only a fraction of letter carriers chose to wear a kilt on their routes it would go a long way to promote kilt wearing as a modern form of dress. Keep us updated on this please.

P.S. If you do get to wear a kilt, you've got to wear the pith helmet too. Let's face it, no other uniform could hold a candle to that.

I'll be honest here.

Were I on the board that decides this, and this picture was presented to me, I would pull out my big DENIED rubber stamp.

I like the tartan, heck I may have to put that on my wish list, very patriotic!

Cheers,

As yours is the only negative vote on this issue, I'm sure we would all like to hear your reasons.

Just because I enjoy and like kilts, does not mean that I will think every instance of one being worn is appealing or appropriate. I'm not necessarily a fan of all styles of kilt either. This photo summarizes a lot of things I do not like.

I also like the USPS tartan. But, I would not vote it into use with the carrier's uniform either. Just one man's opinion.
