Sorry Andrew, should have been clearer.
"Just in case" wasn't meant for kilt lifters, rather for the type of work I do and the work environment.
I work on a place called the Windy Mesa, because it is, wind gusts roar up Glen Canyon almost everyday and do wild things in our parking lot depending on how various types of vehicles are parked. I could get a surprise Marilyn Monroe walking to or from my truck in the agency parking lot.
As a therapist I sit seated, across from clients. If I don't stay properly situated I could get careless or so focused on an issue that I might accidently flash a client, totally disrupting therapy.
My agency is two story with two open stairwells and an overhanging walkway on the second floor. Someone could intentionally, or accidently, position themselves to look up my kilt when I was on the stairs or the walkway. Remember, the nature of my work is that many clients have a mental illness.
Like many of you, coworkers seem to do the most teasing about my kilts. One young Mormon therapist was giving me the "I can see up your kilt" line on St. Paddy's Day. I was 3/4 up the stairs, he was on the first floor looking up at me. He couldn't, but was teasing that he could.
All I'd want is assurance that if something happened that gave someone a look all they'd see is dark fabric, or at worst, a pair of boxer shorts from a wind gust.
No reason to have the freedom to wear my kilts to work undermined by management having a sudden case for indecency.

"I'll have a kilt please, a nice hand sewn tartan, 16 ounce Strome. Oh, and a sporran on the side, with a strap please."
