My boss wrote a lengthy email to our HR director about the issue and he just got a response. The HR guy is fortunately smart enough to see the problems associated with a gender specific dress code. He basically told me to carry on and that those who are uncomfortable with it will just have to deal with their own issues.
I am very glad to have such a supportive manager!
Congrats to you, and applause to your boss and the HR guy!!
You should take your boss out to lunch. Couldn't ask for a better attitude.
Ditto... or at least get him a card or some kind of 'thank you' acknowledgement for sticking up for you and your choice of kilts. It's not often you find someone willing to stick up for kilted employees.. sending a thank you note or takng him out to lunch or something will resonate FAR beyond a simple spoken 'thanks' and will encourage him to stick up for you again in the future!

I will definitely do something along these lines this coming week.
That really is great news, I was lucky in that the place I worked again large multi national company never had a problem with the way I dressed. In fact I was encouraged, I always wore a traditional tartan kilt though.
That is EXCELLENT ! Right now I work from home, but if I should ever have to be part of the masses in the rat race I hope I have the same outcome. Good for you!!! I hope there will be a day that everyone that wants to, can wear their kilts as they please whether it be at work or play.

Aw heck. Buy him a kilt. Bring him into the fold.
Loyalty, Friendship, and Love....The Definition of family.
