Brian, would be interesting to research - if your company has been around that long - if they once prohibited women from wearing pants...?

Graham, I'm a licensed professional counselor for a rural mental health agency. My clients are mostly alcoholics and drug addicts referred by the courts, probation, and parole. I also treat some sex offenders and mental health clients. See clients individually and in small group settings.

Guess my agency is very tolerant. There is no formal dress code, but the boss has said, "Don't make us develop one." But he was referring to some therapists who come to work dressed for a day of heavy gardening.

Consider I am 60 years old, tattooed, have long hair down to my tail end - which I wear loose, usually wear ZCoil shoes (www.zcoil.com for the curious) and have had my name usurped by the hamburger folks...add a kilt to that and its a testiment to the agency's diversity.

Of course I still worry about what effect, if any, being kilted would have/has on clients. So far just the usual curious questions I get around town.

Of course it doesn't hurt that the CEO comes to work on Halloween in full drag and is often making joking remarks as if he's attracted to male staff. He complimented me on my legs yesterday in a humorous way.

The look for today is olive UK mocker, brown wing tips, cream kilt hose, white shirt, and Pendleton vest in Chief Joseph pattern. Think there's a pic with a similar look in my gallery only with my forest AmeriKilt.
