I just found this article while browsing. Seems a Kilted postal worker is meeting some resistence to his choice in attire. I was wondering if this gentleman is a member here. He has a nice collection to be sure. If you are a member good luck to you.

Seems that I recall someone on this forum has already commissioned a kilt in postal blue fabric and it even had the dark blue stripe down the sides. Just last Friday I was behind two postal workers in line at lunch. One was a female in a rather short box-pleated skirt in the same fabric as the gent's trousers.

From the Boston paper's article:

David Partenheimer, a postal service spokesman, added: "there are also questions of safety. Any apparel must go through extensive testing."

This strikes me as specious argument. If the women are permitted skirts, wouldn't that question have already been answered? Otherwise why would we accept that they should be in greater danger than the men?
