Tim Wright, CSX Railroad conductor
Wright, a TCP fan who stops by our office when he's hanging around downtown, is six feet seven inches of uninhibited pant-less fashion. The kilt-wearing, beer-drinking Wright appealed to us because he was so comfortable and confident in his own skin.
Okay. We'll start with the obvious: explain the kilt.
I have Scottish heritage. They're extremely comfortable. And most of the world doesn't wear pants. My other side of the family is German and Polish. I don't want to wear lederhosen!
All my coworkers want to know what's under there.
[Laughs] If it's some asshole guy asking, I say 'It's your girlfriend's lipstick.' Another one might be 'a fresh breeze.' It's usually guys that are asking more than women, which is a little creepy.
Does being so out of the ordinary ever make you uncomfortable?
I'm noticed no matter what. I'm the tallest person everywhere I go. I don't do it as a statement. I just wear it when it's nice out.
Do the guys at your railroad job know about your evening attire?
The guys I work with know, I don't hide it. I think they're amused more than anything.
