Wow! What a happy ending to a potentially disappointing situation. I'm glad you get to keep your kilts!

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's great to hear. My company (just got laid off a couple days ago, actually) was much the same with their dress code policy, although they are a much larger company. I first started wearing UK's there, and never heard a complaint from anyone, had a good amount of compliments from the ladies, some funny comments from the guys (which I never could figure out if they liked it or were masking their dislike through humor...). Never heard from management if anybody complained, but the dress code was pretty clear that it was non-gender specific. We even had a comment from HR, because us guys were complaining that we couldn't wear shorts in the summer, that the guys could always wear skirts - I think I'm the only one that took them up on the offer by wearing a kilt!

Just FYI:

The company employs roughly 30,000 people nationwide, about 2,000 here in Salt Lake. When I said "my office" I meant the 50 or so people who share the room with me.

The great HR guy is over the whole region of 2,000+ people.

Sorry I misunderstood. Those numbers sound a lot like where I was employed. Unfortunately, the dress code was the only good thing about the company I was with. Hope you can say different!
