USPS Kilts

**Kiltman** · 24th May 09, 08:43 AM

Last evening as I was going into a Tai restaurant a gentleman stopped me and commented on the kilt I was wearing. He said he works for the USPS and that now they have a kilt they can wear due to the efforts of a postal carrier in Seattle. I was aware of the postal carrier's effort, but did not know they were successful. How did I miss that one? He said that he did not wear one since they looked every bit as badly as do the shorts. I can visualize a blue klutzy kilt that no one would want to wear. There must be a tartan for USPS?

As Rosanna dana dana said..."Never Mind" My aging eyes saw UPS...not USPS....sorry. Lots of threads on the USPS Kilt efforts.

And, since I misread it, this recent one on UPS tartans http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/u...804/index.html

I'm confused. Are we talking about UPS or USPS? The title of the thread is UPS, but a postal carrier would work for the USPS.

What's going on here?

**Dr Mac** · 24th May 09, 01:40 PM

Am also confused... which is it, and what's the outcome?

**Dan R Porter** · 24th May 09, 01:59 PM

THis thread should just be closed, before we all fall into mass confusion hahaha

Sorry my fingers don't always work the way my mind wants them to. The thread is about the United States Postal Service.
I was under the impression that the USPS did not allow their carriers to wear kilts, but this gentleman who claims to be one says they did allow it. So I'm interested in finding out what's the story.
