First day kilted at work in New Mexico.

[Rob, ClanMacMillan, NM]

I agree with azwildcat96.

Leave the sgian dubh at home. You wouldn't otherwise carry a blade like that, would you?

Actually, I would normally wear/carry a blade of some sort (rule #9: always have a knife) - sometimes on my belt, more often in my pocket. And my co-workers expect it and look to me whenever something needs cutting or opening or whatever.

But - I think - in this instance, that maybe leaving the sgian dubh out of the picture, so to speak, is an excellent idea. As Allen said:

Better to let them focus on the fact that you look sharp in a kilt rather than thinking about the knife in your sock, even though they probably know you carry one anyhow.

While there is nothing inherently wrong with the cap, unless you regularly wear one, you might consider saving it for the pub later on.

Also, I always wear a hat or cap (including the glengarry -- last worn at work for St. Andrew's Day). One thing I do not wear is baseball caps -- used to -- but haven't in many, many years. Please note that the hat/cap is not actually worn while in my office, it is only worn to/from my building and others (we have a pretty sprawling work campus)...basically anyplace where I might burn my tender scalp .
