Congratulations. You have acheived something in the cause of kilt wearers that I would have never been able to do. It wasn't a matter of whether it would have been acceptable to HR or anything, I was an instrument maintainance mechanic in a chemica plant, For the sake of saftey, even women couldn't wear un-birfircated clothing if there was any chance that they would have to venture out into the plant. Heck, I couldn't even have a beard until after I retired,. I even had the length of my moustache measured by the superentendant of maintainance once. (the union really pitched a b@^%%th about that one.
