My Turn To Deal With A Dress Code

**Riverkilt** · 15th March 07, 01:19 PM

Hey Bill,

I get all my tartan boxers at WalMart...come in a three pack...some seem to even be authentic tartans. Never saw the need for high priced boxers...just want them light and loose and thought the tartan was cool in case of accidental exposure.

Ron,

I'm very happy to hear that you and your boss got all the conflicts hashed out, that your organization got that important contract, and that you can now wear a kilt to work anytime you wish.

I think she sees now what a valuable asset you are.

Excellent news, Ron. Your stately handling of a difficult situation paid off in the end.

**bikercelt1** · 15th March 07, 01:48 PM

Congratulations on the success of your approach Ron. It's good to know that a good guy and a rational approach can win in the end. That happens far to seldom in today's world. You give hope to the rest of us who have to fight this battle.

Gender equality was never meant to apply to men.

Logic often falls on deaf ears.

On general principals and fairness, I hope this gets resolved in your favor.

Rather... to a vacuum between the veneer of ears!
Ignorance is such a drag. But at least it is treatable with information, knowledge and such.
Stupidity on the other hand, SHOULD BE PAINFUL! You have my support for the writing of an equitable guideline that addresses clothing and the workplace, and leaves alone subjective opinion. Wear your kilt brother.

Good job! Well done! A credit to all the kilties.

As far as wearing pants for the first time in over 19 months, no fun at all as you'd expect. At least they still fit.
Ron

Bummer

Ah ten HUT

KILT..... ON!

Ron

Ah yes, but do they match your kilts?

Ron, what a story! I've been away a few days and come back to all this!

A thought on dress code:

If you get an opportunity to be part of the process, it seems to me that as kilts are an "equivalent" of pants, that it is not only the pants but the way they are worn that is important. In the same way the kilt is worn in different ways for different occasions. On occasion chinos, on occasion dress pants (suit even), on occasion jeans. If you are going to a more formal meeting when dress chinos and a sports coat (tie) would be worn, then it would be inappropriate to wear a UK survival and t-shirt. A more formal tartan kilt and kilt jacket (tie) would be more appropriate. But, how you would write that into a formal code I am not sure. Perhaps some clever Xmarks member could write a "boiler-plate" code.

I was curious at first too, then I started thing about it. I'm not curious anymore.

Well won Ron. No doubt it was a hard fight, and you gave the good fight. You have my permission to add a little extra swagger in your step, you earned it.
