    Security policy changed on Monday, due to a certain individual currently spending a considerable time in jail right now. I can't wear a sporran, which limits the interest in wearing a kilt at work. The Mocker Utilikilt is OK, but the fabric is rather light and lacks the swish of a traditional kilt.

    The reasoning being I might be taking something out of the area in the sporran... despite others having pockets on their pants that serve the same function.

    I don't work in a normal office - need a couple security clearances where I am.

    I work in secure areas myself, and have worn kilt and sporran. Do they allow women to carry their purses?

    My question, also.

    No, women are not allowed to carry a purse.

    Cups are allowed, but they must be completely clear - no labels anywhere and it must be spill proof. Not allowed chapstick or any personal belongings (cellphones included), except for the old iPod Nano (the small one inch square version with only the headphone jack) and headphones.

    Well then, it seems fair although very restrictive. There must be a reason to do with what you work with.

    You must be a government contractor. I have a couple friends/co-workers that have worked at places like that around here. Thank you none for me, but then I wouldn't fit the normal profile of someone that works at one.

    You could wear a UT Kilts kilt - They aren't my favourite utility kilt because they are a bit stiff, but they do have hidden pockets, just like trousers. You can remove the cargo pockets easily by unstitching them. Then you would have something that's exactly the same as trousers but without the bifurcation!
