Great compliment

... I feel it would be a liability in many of my interactions with the public...

From my perspective, I tend to agree. This is a choice that must be made based on individual circumstances. A kilt could be an asset or a liability based on the particular environment in which you work. In a job where you are constantly challenged by the public or your peers for your decision making, it could be a liability. If the work is task oriented, such as building furniture or fixing a toaster, it may not be a problem.

The company I work for knows I wear kilts and I have worn them to trade shows for the company. I don't believe I would it would be a problem if I did, but I choose not to. I don't believe this has diminished my appreciation for, or enjoyment of, the kilt one bit. I'll remain a satisfied "weekend wallace" for the forseeable future.

Well I have come to the appreciation that the kilt is 'just another garment'. As such, there are times and places for it and times and places when it is not the best choice, and I dont get overly concerned about either.
However, as the girls in the original posting noticed, pants and dress clothes are like 'costumes' to me, while the kilts are more like 'clothes'.

That is indeed a great compliment. I had one similar when a female physical therapist told me that I looked like I was born to wear a kilt. It's a nice feeling isn't it?

I wore mmy kilt to the company's Holiday Party and the most compliments I got were from the management staff. I have gotten many questions since then, but I can't wear a kilt to work. I have to wear a uniform and I get very greasy during my normal work day. Being a Lift truck mechanic, I get to roll around on the warehouse floor while repairing the customer's equipment. Not an atmosphere for a kilt. So, I wear it to dinner, church amd casual evenings out. But when I do, I have a lot of fun.
