    I tired a few times, but I have a hard time associating my kilts with working. I have always been associating my kilts with friends, pubs and relaxation time. I noticed that I cannot take my work seriously when I am kilted at the office. I have also turned off the rock music a well. It is a pyshological thing.

    I am not trying to tell you that you shouldn't be going to work in a kilt. I am just not as productive when I wearing a kilt.

    btw, I work for a HR consulting company and we are very progessive

    I think it's stupid.....but that's just me.

    sign me up. I'd like to join the sniper ranks, take out the trousers before they even know what is coming!

    As long as dress codes are applied fairly to all employees, I have no problem with them. In fact, I believe in an employer's right to set whatever dress code they feel is appropriate for their business (again, as long as it's fair).

    My own personal view is that men, like women, should be able to wear whatever they want. I am certainly not of the "All men should wear kilts" mentality. I wear a kilt when I want, and many times I do not.

    I fully support your decision, . You have made a wise choice, and should be commend for making your work performance the prority.

    I do wear a kilt-full time. It's simply my choice of daily attire. But doing so full-time is certainly not for everyone, nor should it be.
