NOT kilted at work -- your thoughts, please?

[crboltz]

My husband recently started his own company, and on occasion, I work for him for two reasons 1) My freelance work is in line with his company's services, so my regular customers pay him, he takes a cut and taxes, and then pays me so I don't have 1099s to do, 2) As a new company on some of the gigs he just needs additional hands. When the reason I'm working for his company is #1, I wear the kilt, and wear it proudly -- my clients know me as a kilt wearer, and are actively disappointed if I show up without one. If the reason is #2, he needs to be the person who is the center of attention, and I wear dockers or cargo pants and fade into the background. (On the last gig I did with him, one of the employees of the client was a friend and commented on how boring my attire was the whole time I was there).

I'm very big on believing people should wear what they want (and my husband hopes to make a register a tartan for his company and encourage kilt wearing in general), but with the early (so far all government) clients he is presenting a very conservative image.

So Phogfan86, I have great sympathy for both you and your supervisor, but I truly hope you get to wear your kilt to work more and more.

Cheers
Chris

So, the question, at it's root is, is wearing the kilt about how you feel about wearing a kilt, or is it about the attention it gets from others. I am not saying there is anything wrong with either category.
