    I am a teacher like brice and my administrators let me wear the kilt as often as I want. I've decided to wear the kilt to school every Thurs. and Fri. My students accept and encourage my wearing of the kilt and I'll wear it on a Wed. just to throw them off because the High Schoolers will say, "Hey it's not Thurs. yet. Or is it?" Love messin' with their minds.

    I started up my own junk removal & odd job company this past spring, and as I'm my own boss I could wear a kilt whenever I want. However, the type of work I do does not lend itself to kilt-wearing, so I stick to jeans.

    Unfortunatly seeing as how i work security for a rather large oil company in Aberdeen i have to wear a suit, And as i am away from home all week i dont often take a kilt with me for the evenings. Weekends however are another matter most people in huntly are starting to expect to see me kilted now and im planing on slowly doing the same whilst away from home in the evenings. Kilt on

    I work in a prison.
    A kilt just wouldn't be a good thing to wear to work.

    I HAVE however mentioned to a certain Lieutenant that I was thinking of making one and putting it in as a recommendation for a uniform, just to mess with him.

    I am not kilted every day but that is a personal choice, based on the fact that my wife hates it when I put one on, and that I am not sure I want to risk my quality kilts getting particulalry messy by wearing them to work regulalry. I am a radiologist, a physician who works with children performing procedures like barium enemas and invasive (think sharp objects, catheters and blood) interventional procedures, so the risk of ruining a kilt at work is real. A portion of my job is sit down work and/or administration, and on those days I can wear a kilt if I choose. Since I have to meet certain expectations of apearence I am usually in either a shirt, tie and jacket or a nice sweater worn over one of my tanks in appropriate tartan of choice.

    I get a lot of "drive-bys" when I come to work kilted---people come from outside my department to make a detour through where I am working to get a look at the kilted guy, which can be distracting to overall departmental function, so I usually try to do it infrequently and keep it as low key as possible. I am often kilted on weekends playing golf or even when I am on call and working, as the "traffic" through my workspace is less on weekends than weekdays.

    I can't, but I noticed just last evening a documentary on the Discovery Channel that featured the host in utilikilt (or the like) when he was out on the African plains.

    I can, because my company has a policy of celebrating diversity. But I won't unless they request it. We can get very dirty and I don't want to ruin a good kilt.

    At this point, I probably COULD, but I choose not to. I'm an "all-things-in-moderation" sort of person, and that applies to my attire as well. I try to keep a well-balanced wardrobe, that also includes many kinds of slacks, jeans, shorts, sarongs, lunghi, Japanese traditional clothes (which are really comfortable for lounging around the house), just to name a few.

    If I were to start wearing kilts daily, for me it would become just as restrictive and boring as if I were to only wear jeans. When I get up in the morning I consider what I'm going to wear in the priority of: 1) occasion (what am I doing today / where am I going / with whom will I be speaking); 2) look (I want to look good / fashionable / professional / impressive); and finally 3) comfort. Comfort is only important to me IF I've already been able to satisfy the above 2 priorities. I would rather dress smartly to achieve my purpose and sacrifice my comfort rather than the opposite. (E.g. I always travel (fly) in a suit & tie, or kilt, shirt & tie).
