I certainly don't think it should be compulsory to be kilted for these gentlemen, but i do not understand why they would be prohibited from wearing a kilt if they wish to. This is, of course, assuming that his kilt is of sufficient quality and well fitted. To those who made the tux argument, I get your point, but would point out that a kilt can be appropriately worn at many levels of formality. This means it would not be ridiculous or out of place at a high end retail establishment. Obviously a tuxedo would be, because it is not nearly as versatile a garment.
That would be my view of the matter. As long as he is smartly dressed, I don't really see any reason why he shouldn't wear a kilt if he wants to.
