    Just wear the print shirt with a solid kilt--please!

    Glad that all is well at work with the kilt. Who knows, you might be promoted because of the kilt, not inspite of it.

    sherry, don't tease me like that, I can only dream! Seriously, it really can't hurt to wear the kilt, and will make me more recognizable to more people. When someone mentions me and what I have done on a project or for the company and the other person is not sure who is being referred to, they can qualify and say "You know, the guy in the kilt!" ;)

    June 24: The Battle of Bannockburn, 1314

    November 30: St. Andrew's Day

    December 31/January 1: Hogmanay/New Year's Day

    I have also added MY birthday to the list.

    Also, if you do have a company dess code (we do) and it simply says "business casual" and the goes to describe things NOT considered, cargo pants, extreme faded or torn jeans, tube tops...you get the idea. Kilts definately fit into the 'casual' catagory. However, I did approch the department director first before the first time and 'ask' their views. This was a few days before Tartan Day AND I had set up a display a week before on Scotland, America and Celebration of Tartan Day. This worked great.

    Good Luck,

    Yet, if you wear an Argyle jacket and a tie, it's as formal as a suit. Or if you wear a Prince Charlie and a bow tie, it's the equivalent of a tuxedo (well okay, it's far, far cooler than a tuxedo).
