I'm a department manager in the claims processing department at a large insurance company. Our normal dress code is business casual and until recently we used to pay money (donated to charity) to dress in jeans and sneakers. On those dress down days I would sometimes wear the kilt. Not only because I love my kilts, but because it usually put a smile on people's face. No negativity or bad comments, mostly great acceptance and frequent questions about the tartan and what's underneath.

Yesterday being tartan day and as fate would have it a dress down I wore my newest Stillwater Heavyweight in the Lamont weathered tartan. One of my directors actually asked me why I was dressed up. So I figure I'll be able to get away with it on non dress down days as well. I've might even have some new converts. One guy wanting to know if you have to be Scottish and another stating he would like one but doesn't have the nerve. Gimme time, I'll start a new trend.
