    Good on ya! Congratulations. I expect the Post Office has rules about what youcan and cannot wear, so wearing a kilt to work is a major breakthrough.

    I've been kilted at work two days week for about 5 months now and nobody I work with even notices any more. It's totally a non-issue. It'll get there for you, too.

    What a bunch of winers :mrgreen: I regularly top out over 120+behind the grill with the exhaust fan going and two smaller fans drawing in cooler air. I don't care what type of material your kilt is made out of that is bloody hot.

    123 degrees

    Was my record down in Phoenix a while back..wearing a dang suit...asphault mooshed down when you walked on it...never again.

    Moved north to Page, AZ where its usually at least 5 degrees, and sometimes 10 degrees, cooler than Phoenix.

    But its more what you're used to living in than the actual temperature...

    Reminds me, gotta call about that UK Spartan outfit tomorrow...

    kilted at work

    Thanks lads.
    Yea it is great to be kilted at work. Today I had to do the mowing and weed wacking! I had no choice but to wear pants, but as soon as I was done with that chore I changed into the kilt! Boy I sure did feel a whole lot better and about 20 degrees cooler to boot!

    So far I have had no bad comments from anyone just funny looks.he one guy that I thought would give me a hard time was very nice aabout the whole thing.

    Mowing and garden work is my favourite time to wear my kilt, plus it gets exposure to the neighbourhood

    Rob... I worked in a place that had a coal fired oven... at least 150 degrees (Some times higher on a realy busy night) in the kitchen, plus 100% humidity from all the steam. And this was WITH the AC turned on full tilt.

    It was there I became known as Hades, Lord of the Damned.

    Always felt bad for the oven feeders. They had no eyebrows, no hair. **Shudder**

    Good for you, Kiltie!

    I can't wear a kilt to my current job, it would get ruined the first day, but I just took an entry test for the post office. Your story is very encouraging.
