    Unbifurcated garments are worn by millions, maybe billions, of men throughout the world. Kilts aside, 'tis a shame men don't have the same freedom of choice that women have when it comes to dress in the workplace.

    And, really don't see that much difference between a wool pleated tartan skirt that a woman can wear to work any day of the week she chooses and a wool pleated tartan kilt - a type of skirt - that a man could wear.

    Stand a woman in a wool tartan skirt next to a man in a wool tartan kilt - what's the difference?

    Sorry, I don't buy the clan and family only thing. Look how many tartan non-kilt types of garments are being sold by menswear vendors.

    No hassle to wear a tartan shirt to work. No hassle to wear a tartan tie to work. No hassle to wear tartan pants to work (speaking for myself), maybe even no hassle to wear a tartan sportcoat to work...what's the big deal with a well made tartan kilt?

    Seems a power and control issue over a very tiny thing.

    Ron, you seem to come off as one who needs control, and may not care much that others have some over you. That in a nut shell is life, and has been since the dawn of time. Someone else is always in control, and they call the shots. If it such a little thing, than maybe you should give up trying to change a corp. culture which will never except your idea of things. Someone who pays another gets to call the shots... !
