So for special days I wear the kilt and he is OK with it. My work schedule is longer hours Monday through Thursday and close at 12:30 on Friday. So I started wearing kilts on Friday sans permission. (better to ask forgiveness than permission) At first it was a little luke warm on the reception, now it is just an accepted thing by staff, vendors etc. I would almost bet that someone would say something if I wasn't kilted. I work in a lab and receive raw materials and cosmetic samples so generally the good tartans stay at home and my RKilts, AltKilts and PV kilts are my Friday norm.

    Thanks for the inspiration!
    Hey Joe,
    How I can relate to this! Thanks for sharing. Hey that’s what this Forum is about encouraging one another in our kilted life!

    Re: Kilted Fridays Adventures

    Hm, touchy ground here.

    I've started wearing the kilt on Friday's at work (Friday is 'casual day' here). Everyone has come to expect that when they ask "Why the kilt?" that I'll simply reply "It's Friday."

    I also have a membership at a "store" across the street so I walk over and play with 'forbidden to mention here' toys at lunch every Friday. That's the 'adventure' part of my Fridays.

    (not toys, of course, used that with 'artistic license' in mind. Safety first.)

    Combine all the good stuff!

    added pic from today, coworker took with phone so a bit fuzzy, sorry.

    What's the good looking tartan you are wearing?

    Mael,

    That's my California (official state tartan) in the muted color scheme. I like it a lot.

    Sigh, I bought it through a local vendor. It was my first, when I first found this forum.

    It was supposed to be Dalgleish, and the kilt was made in Scotland, but I do not have any actual proof which mill made the fabric or who the person was who made the kilt.

    I didn't know enough to require an answer to those questions at the time.

    Cool

    Does Saturday yard work count? I have never worn my kilt other than to a festival. I have wanted too, but, have been trying to build up my courage to do so. Yesterday I wore my UTkilt all day doing yard work. It was rather freeing no pics, sadly.
