    We had a post on this already, but that is not a kilt its a skirt. A kilt is a mens celtic irish and scottish garment made or 100% wool, 6 to 8 yards of it and in a set tartan pattern.
    Once again America has bastardized another culture, I'm irish and we have kilts and that is not a kilt, American rip off.

    sorry for the re-post.
    I heard the story on NPR about a mailman trying to get uniform approval for the US Postal Service.

    I asked permission from the wife unit to get one. She said only if I mow the lawn in it on a day when all my neighbors are around

    ehhhh - call me a coward

    Aw c'mon Rick, you disappoint me. After all, it's Beo, I'm sure you could think up a fresh set of insults for him.
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    No need to make a crack about a boy girl wearing a dress. I mean, come on. It's just so easy. Truth be told, I wasn't put off so much with the dress as I was him wearing panty hose!

    I tried to get the okay from the wife to wear a kilt years ago. Researched the family tartan, yeh, I'm not just Italian and Russian, mothers side has Scots and Irish.

    Wish she would have given me the ultimatum to wear it cutting the grass. She knows, in a heart beat. She once said that if I was such a big hunter, I'd go chase wild hogs nekked with a butter knife. Woman, would not let me out the door.

    A kilt would be awsome.

    It seems to me that the (U.S.) postal service would opt for something that is all american instead of stealing cultural items? from other parts of the world. How about good ole American Jeans (and those being Levi's to boot)?

    the U.S. postal service has a official tartan registered with the Scottish Tartan Authority, it is tartan


    No.: 4166


    Many departments of the federal government , and all U.S. military services including the coast guard have officially recognised tartans.

    I do not find this un American at all!

    Incidentally, a great kilt is a excellent piece of survival wear.
