SEATTLE — A 6-foot-tall, 250-pound letter carrier is campaigning for the right to take off his pants. Dean Peterson wants the U.S. Postal Service to add kilts as a uniform option for men.
Why? “In one word, it’s comfort,” he said.
With his build, Peterson said, his thighs fill slacks to capacity, causing chafing. He began wearing kilts a couple of years ago when his wife brought one back from a trip to Scotland. “It’s the difference between wearing jammies to bed and wearing your work clothes to bed,” he said.
The idea was soundly defeated in July at a convention of the 220,000-member National Letter Carriers’ Association.
