Where do you work?

This has been a very enjoyable thread to read.

I have just been named as the executive director for a nonprofit
agency here in our community.
Our dress code does not allow for kilts at the work place.
I will get to wear them to some of our formal functions.

I am self-employed as a Chartered Accountant, with a general tax and accounting practice. I spent many years with the "Big Six" or whatever they are called now, but have been way happier since I set up on my own. I've gotten my clients to the point where they don't expect to see me in a suit and tie any more, but I'm not really into wearing my kilts to work. Once I leave work, though, . . .
This has been an excellent thread!

I work at a local pizza shop called Colombos. I wear a utilikilt there roughly once a week. I don't want to wear any nice wool kilts there, for fear of spilling pizza sauce on them.

I'm a buyer for a municipal government. Generally, I think I may be looked at with a jaundiced eye if I was in a typical office environment while wearing a kilt. However, because so much of our buying is for outside operations, I'm not at a city hall. The dress code tends to be much less formal. Having said that...

Until about two years ago, wearing even shorts to work was not permitted. I did so anyways to make a point when indoor temperatures were kept in the low eighties even in the winter. I had meat falling off the bone. I got a talking to but made my point and the thermostat was turned down.

I did sport my only kilt (at that time) to the company Christmas party several years ago. It got nothing but positive responses. When the shorts policy came into effect, I interpreted it to mean that I could wear a kilt if I so chose. So I did. And got virtually nothing but positive responses to it as well, with a few exceptions, all of which were tongue in cheek joking. I'm sort of the company eccentric the way I dress anyways (shorts all winter long, a closet full of Hawaiian shirts, etc.) so no one is really too shocked to see what I wear.

Being what one would call semi retired, I wear what I want. Working around the farm I make clothing choices depending on what I will be doing that day.

I'm a stay at home dad and an artist, so wearing a cilt all day, everyday isn't a problem. I used to work at a wearhouse a year and a half back, but got hurt real bad. Long story short, I can't seem to get a job anywhere, but can't go on disability. Luckily my wife has no problem with working and likes the idea that someone (me) gets to stay home with the kids.

I work at the on-campus bookstore at my university. For a few more months, at any rate. I can work a little longer after I graduate, but after that I have to find another job. As long as you don't look like a total slob, the dress code at work is pretty lenient, so the kilts have always been allowed (though, in all the time there's been an NMU bookstore, I think I'm the only guy who's ever worn a kilt).

Ok, I admit it... I skipped page 6.

Anyway, I thought I'd take my turn.

I work as a nuclear reactor operator on board a United States submarine, the USS Santa Fe.

Needless to say, I don't go to work kilted. Not only would that violate the strict uniform code (so strict in fact that there are uniforms we can wear at work... but not in public), it wouldn't be very safe. Not to mention that I have to climb vertical ladders to get on and off the ship.

Haven't tried my hand at wearing one to any sort of "command function," as I usually avoid those.

I'm a police detective. I no longer have to wear a uniform on a day-to-day basis, but a kilt still wouldn't work. Unfortunately, there are some jobs where you need to blend in, and present a neutral appearance.

However, I also do some teaching/performing with a local Imrov comedy troupe. It's not uncommon for me to be kilted at rehearsals.
