USPS Kilts

[Phogfan86]

The most recent article I can google up is from August of last year, shortly after the mail carriers union voted the kilt idea down.

Also adding to the confusion is the fact that the Tartan Registry just registered a United Parcel Service tartan, seen below:



Suggestion for all single kilties: get permission to wear the UPS tartan. Wear it out on the town and wait for a fabulous babe to come over and ask, "What can brown do for me?"

Sorry. Us old guys have to live vicariously through you spry young bucks.

Since most kilt waerers dislike FedEx and their shipping issues I doubt they would except a registry from them

I might be a "young buck", but I wouldn't be caught dead in that UPS tartan. Holy cow! I can't even imagine a more hideous tartan. Is that for real?

Now as for the USPS tartan, I do like that one. And to me, it doesn't even compare to the ugly shorts the postal carriers have to wear. Hell, I'd be more than happy to take the Postal exam and get a job there if I could wear that tartan.

I agree, that USPS tartan is quite nice and if allowed would make the uniform "simply irresistible" I'm sure. Just watch for an increase in housewife/postal carrier stories to see if the kilt issue really passed or not.

I'm a USPS letter carrier, and no kilt has been approved as a uniform item. Maybe that guy's local post master lets his carriers wear them, but the effort to get them accepted as a uniform item service-wide went nowhere....

I like the colours, bur rhat design is, well, horrid.

might solve the solvency issues of the USPS and might increase amount of mail being sent if those housewives want to be sure they see their postman...

Great point! I always wondered if my biological father was kilted

The information held within The Scottish Register of Tartans for the "U.S. Postal Service" tartan is shown below.

It looks like the Air Force Good Conduct ribbon crossing itself.
