OK, I'm retired. So my views of the work place are stilted. I'm also retired from the Marine Corps, which has a rather strict dress code.

When I got out I was mostly self employed, and I didn't go kilted full time untill I really quit working and retired for good.

But - I am now a dedicated full time kilt wearer. I no longer ask permission to wear the kilt to any event. I have kilts and associated clothes that suit any circumstance. Heck - Some of my friends and acquantances have never seen me in a pair of those hated cloth tubes.

At a Lodge dinner last night, not one comment was made. Not "nice kilt" or "What's the occassion?" or "Which tartan is that?" (Wallace Hunting) or nuthin'. It was just accepted.

That's the way I like it.

For your circumstance - all I can offer is a kind word..... Hang in there!
