My objection is/was to your statement that the only difference being the side that the apron fastens being opposite. In an 'off the shelf' or 'bespoke' kilt tailored to a male vs female figure, there are differences in how the pleats and garment as a whole is shaped. Look at the title of thread &qu...

I suppose the curiosity over whether or not we're perceived as being transgender is just something that comes with the territory. Absolutely Jeff, and most times we won't even be aware that it's happening. I have really learnt ration out my concerns over others views of me. That privilege is only a...

it’s concerning her about my mental health. She asked me if I’m wanting to look different then why don’t I wear a kilt because a kilt would be publicly accepted because it’s a Scotsman’s national dress and it isn’t a skirt. Oh how I would dearly love to have a discussion with her. There is a huge a...

In Scotland, we can use the word "loonies" meaning boys, "breeks" pronounced "bricks" for trousers.
Of course we say "neeps" for turnips which may also be a boy who acts like a loony.
Hurts my brain thinking about it.

The "kilt" is a skirt for men by it's very nature. This statement is incorrect. The kilt is a skirt whether it is made for a male or female body. At base level that statement is perfectly correct but can also cause much controversy as you have amply demonstrated in your assertion. The con...

When I was in hospital yesterday, a nurse asked where my trousers were.
On being informed that I don't wear such things, she was clearly taken aback.
Great fun, amused not offended.

For a woman who has lived directly with a MIS for years, it may also speak to other fears and insecurities for surely she knows the difference. That is precisely why she is soon to be my ex-wife. NB, she is perfectly aware of the difference, but, "there are none so blind as those who will not ...

Why do we make it so difficult That question is further complicated in that it emanates from Scotland. I wear a kilted pleat skirt regularly and it never gets much comment. Even this, a blast from the past, which bears even less similarity to any "normal" kilt, is almost invisible. Fact i...

OutnAbout December 2017, Whitestuff skirt, ticks all the boxes in a skirt for me.
I still have it and it gets regular outings too.
Note the remarkably short hair.

Has anyone tried it. Had any luck? I'm a bit puzzled 84, "Kilt skirt for men"? The "kilt" is a skirt for men by it's very nature. The only difference would really be the side the apron fastens on and the cost, I assume. That difference may be why the kiltmakers are a bit preciou...

A random thought has occurred to me.
My soon to be ex-wife does.

I find it odd that few people on here seem to recognise that Gen Z and Alpha completely ignore gender norms - they consider them to be irrelevant nonsense. Do they really, all of them regardless of race, creed or colour? What evidence do you have for that assertion? Steve. NB it's a question not an...

High return rates illustrate that it doesn’t work. Combined with changing social attitudes from Gen Z and Alpha, I firmly believe change is coming quickly. High return rates are largely due to fickle purchasing not gender binary and sizing. ASOS, "As Seen On Screen", except it looks very ...

It is Utilikilts out of Seattle that has 2 millions of dollars of sells annually. That brand is well mention here on skirtcafe. As much I can gather from internet New York City where they have a very large customer base they ship to. Utilikilts are completely gender exclusive, a macho product aimed...

Who is likely to be next? ASOS would be my top choice. I’d also watch Zara and H&M. So would I, Zara and H&M have already tried it and withdrew. Not so sure about ASOS. We'll see, but like I said, don't hold your breath. Steve. PS did you create that post by yourself or did you have AI assi...
