I work as an accountant for a wholesale grocery distribution warehouse. Our dress neither forbids kilts nor endorses them; the assumption is conventional business casual attire for men (although the women's list has been vigorously and bitterly challenged and debated over the years.) By verbal agreement with HR, I wear a kilt to the office on very few ocassions scattered throughout the year, such as Tartan Day, Denim Day ($5 please), my birthday (is this my form of birthday suit?), Christmas Eve (a short day with a skeleton crew), and the like. I do not wish to overdo it, and the company has no interest in amending the men's dress code aimed solely at me.
Two years ago I made a Black Stewart kilt for our receiving supervisor. We two and a forklift operator wore our kilts to the company Christmas party (oops, "Holiday party" :confused: ) and had our picture taken together. A copy went to the warehouse manager, who still has it in his office, but he has repeated to the receiving supervisor that if he wears a kilt in the manager's warehouse, he'll be fired. I doubt it would stand up to litigation, but who wants to slog through that morass?
