USPS Kilts

Since most kilt waerers dislike FedEx and their shipping issues I doubt they would except a registry from them

Suggestion for all single kilties: get permission to wear the UPS tartan. Wear it out on the town and wait for a fabulous babe to come over and ask, "What can brown do for me?"

Sorry. Us old guys have to live vicariously through you spry young bucks.

I might be a "young buck", but I wouldn't be caught dead in that UPS tartan. Holy cow! I can't even imagine a more hideous tartan. Is that for real?

Now as for the USPS tartan, I do like that one. And to me, it doesn't even compare to the ugly shorts the postal carriers have to wear. Hell, I'd be more than happy to take the Postal exam and get a job there if I could wear that tartan.

That's a good sign, I think...

I like the mailman tartan, but not the UPS one. It (the UPS) looks like the lining of my wife's rain jacket.
Has the Post Office (USPS) tartan ever been pleated that anyone knows of, or even woven, for that matter?

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

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

I agree, that USPS tartan is quite nice and if allowed would make the uniform "simply irresistible" I'm sure. Just watch for an increase in housewife/postal carrier stories to see if the kilt issue really passed or not.

I'm a USPS letter carrier, and no kilt has been approved as a uniform item. Maybe that guy's local post master lets his carriers wear them, but the effort to get them accepted as a uniform item service-wide went nowhere....
