    Wearing the Kilt at Work - Like Pulling Teeth

    I'm negotiating approval for me to wear the kilt for 5 days in return for funds to go to the company charity. How could management refuse? Well, it has to go through "channels", still. Aren't you glad you don't work for a large, stuffy bank? HHHHHHRRRRRRMMMMPPHH!!

    Yes I am as well. I'm lucky to be working in an office that is pretty open as far a dress code goes. So when I asked about wearing a kilt to work I was answered with an immediate yes.
    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

    I work for a Multi-National Financial Printer and I wear a kilt everyday to work, just lucky I guess, but you could always look into the HR dept. guidelines on Dress Codes also look for any documentation on diversity.

    I am lucky too. I never asked for permission, though I did let my boss (the HR director)know the day before I wore it, so I didn't blindside him. I'd wear kilts more often if I had more.

    That sounds somewhat like my company. Yet they allow shorts! Grrr. If an HR department is involved, you know sense and logic will lose out.

    I wonder if women have also to go thru channels when they decide to go to work wearing pants.

    I wore a kilt to work for the first time last Friday after golfing with the founder and the CFO in it. Since they approved I figure I'm good to go. (on Fridays, at least).

    Good luck. My boss is currently going through "channels" for me trying to get my Utilikilt approved as an official uniform option. HE liked it and says yes, but there's always another boss higher up the food chain, eh?
