I voted a resounding no. I just don't see a real reason for the USPS personnel to wear a kilt. I feel a uniform is a uniform; period. I have spent some years wearing military as well as civilian uniforms. So, I certainly have a different view than some. I don't feel the kilt should be added to the options just because one guy (or at best, a vast minority) thinks it looks cool or more comfortable or neat to be different. It would be a novelty. What then? Mail carriers in superman capes? (don't get too upset, it's an intentional exageration... a hyperbole of sorts) I also personally feel the prototypes proposed look a bit silly.

My opinion is no doubt due, at least in part, to the fact that I wear the kilt primarily because of my heritage. But, also in no small part the fact that I simply like the way it looks. I do wear the kilt as I would any other garment, by which I mean I wear it when I feel like it, not just special occasions. But, my reason for wearing it has absolutely zero to do with comfort. I happen to find the kilt no more or no less comfortable that a pair of pants/jeans/trousers.

Finally, I've gotta say: this issue is not a "cause." It's a matter of choice, something we all have and must do at some point. (something I am FAR from a stranger to in the work place and life choices.) If this guy wants to wear a kilt at work, he needs to accept that it's not going to happen with the USPS. To turn it into a gender issue is absurd. The issue here is not gender, but simply the fact that the kilt has no reason to be a part of the uniform. Should togas or sarongs also be allowed, so long as they're postal blue? Of course not. We're also talking about the US Govt. here, no Circuit City or Podunk High School. To think the general public would have much bearing is a bit wishful.
