USPS Kilts

[The Barry]

I'm confused. Are we talking about UPS or USPS? The title of the thread is UPS, but a postal carrier would work for the USPS.

What's going on here?

Sorry my fingers don't always work the way my mind wants them to. The thread is about the United States Postal Service.
I was under the impression that the USPS did not allow their carriers to wear kilts, but this gentleman who claims to be one says they did allow it. So I'm interested in finding out what's the story.

The most recent article I can google up is from August of last year, shortly after the mail carriers union voted the kilt idea down.

Also adding to the confusion is the fact that the Tartan Registry just registered a United Parcel Service tartan, seen below:



Suggestion for all single kilties: get permission to wear the UPS tartan. Wear it out on the town and wait for a fabulous babe to come over and ask, "What can brown do for me?"

Sorry. Us old guys have to live vicariously through you spry young bucks.

Since most kilt waerers dislike FedEx and their shipping issues I doubt they would except a registry from them

I might be a "young buck", but I wouldn't be caught dead in that UPS tartan. Holy cow! I can't even imagine a more hideous tartan. Is that for real?

Now as for the USPS tartan, I do like that one. And to me, it doesn't even compare to the ugly shorts the postal carriers have to wear. Hell, I'd be more than happy to take the Postal exam and get a job there if I could wear that tartan.

That's a good sign, I think...

I like the mailman tartan, but not the UPS one. It (the UPS) looks like the lining of my wife's rain jacket.
Has the Post Office (USPS) tartan ever been pleated that anyone knows of, or even woven, for that matter?
