Hello from The home of the Blues, Memphis, TN

While I understand the bosses desire for a professional appearance at work, as you said, you are not in the public eye so I do not understand the resistance to kilts entirely as long as they are worn properly.

Welcome from Carlisle England, good post, I read it with interest, glad to hear that they still allow kilts to work at night.

Welcome,

Thought we had another ATC thread going earlier...must have been after the change since there was a flat out prohibition of kilts.

Got me to wondering how many lives may be endangered when a male ATC is distracted from his screen to rearrange his panted bits? Kilts could be a safety feature.

Sorry the other's ruined a good thing. Sounds like you were the best dressed for a while.

Imagine you'll be looking at the UK Leather and RKilts leather for winter wear...they're amazing in cold and foul weather.

Welcome to XMTS

... ... ... ... ... ...other people had mentioned they were going to “protest the dress code" by wearing a kilt too. I don’t think they understood that I wasn’t trying to somehow punish my employer for changing the dress code, but that I wanted to preserve a bit of who I was. ... ... ... ...Abax

Information is what those people needed. Protests are not as effective as a communication tool as some would want them to be. With obvious rare exceptions. Too bad that those protesting the new code were in the wrong attitude. They would have been right as you seem to have been, had they Embraced the new code. And the kilt would be welcomed even now. A harsh blow to kilt acceptance.
