How do you feel about men wearing kilts? any brand recommendations?
I take transit to work and it's getting hot in my city, I would like to wear shorts but I'm not allowed to wear them to work because of the dress code, however it allows skirts and is silent on kilts (and I think my managers will allow my bit of malicious compliance on this). Any recommendations on affordable utilikilt style brands? Do you think it would be weird to see a retail employee in a kilt in a major city and that I shouldn't do it?

Hello friend. No experience with kilts, but if you're looking for general suggestions, Thai fishermen pants are another alternative clothing to keep cool in the summer. Here in Toronto, nobody bats an eye when I wear them during hot days. They're inexpensive and you can get them in v/a basic colors to match your wardrobe, but the sewing pattern is so simple you could also get someone to make them for you using whatever fabric you want. Here's a example image:

Kilts look cool. And in a major city, a man in a utilikilt shouldn't be the weirdest thing anyone would see on any given day.

I think it's a bit weird but it wouldn't bother me and would probably make me smile.
I think it depends on the retail environment, and how cosmopolitan the city is. If your customers are regularly conservative and up tight then I'd think twice.
Probably worth getting one and wearing it socially first. It will take time getting used to it, you don't want to go around flashing people, after all.

I have a hiking kilt from Mountain Hardware. It's extremely comfortable (especially in this heat wave), I've had it for a while, but I've been wearing it a lot since I recently broke my clavicle and needed something I could easily dress into.

Unfortunately it seems like they don't carry kilts anymore. They do have a purple down jacket that I'm seriously tempted by but I just don't need a new one this year.

Stumptown kilts. They're made like clothing rather than a costume. Super comfortable with a lot of storage.

i'm completely neutral. in a retail environment i'm really not sure whether i'd even notice, especially if it's already a hot day. you might get a lot of stupid questions from people who don't like anything outside of their norm though

Don't mind if I do! (Wearing my vintage utilikilt this very moment)

I think the primary common trait of men who wear kilts is: they don't care what other people think.

I think men wearing kilts is a fantastic display of embracing diverse fashion. As for brand recommendations, Scott Fashion offers a great selection of kilts that are stylish, comfortable, and well-crafted. Their range caters to various tastes, making it a solid choice for anyone looking to explore kilts as part of their wardrobe.
