Mr. Kirt, Italian skirt maker

Post by Gusto10 »

Via a german forum in skirts I learned of this site:
https://mrkirt.eu/

I do think they have some wearable items, a pity that they don't go beyond L as size. Further a bit stiff in price, but comparable to Hiatus in Nimes, France.

They look very nice but I can get skirts from the thrift shop that are just as nice and for much less. Thank you very much... :)

I like them, it's great to see another skirt manufacturer for guys! I liked the tartan one as it does resemble a kilt

but as has been said already it's too expensive.

Nice to see models who aren't frowning or looking like they absolutely detest the clothes they have on

which makes a nice change.

The last one was from their Instagram page.

When I can get a decent pencil skirt for a fraction of the price, these manufacturers will always come unstuck. The prices need to be lower. I would never spend close to £200 on a skirt,
it's bad enough traditional kilts are in that price bracket :roll:

The French one is somewhat ironic as France was essentially the genesis of trouser tyranny for men, and now seems to be joining the skirt revolution!

Well, I disagree thereon, as the fashion shows in Paris have been carrying or decades the issue of men skirts. Such contrary to Milan and more recent followed n positive sense by London. Also Scandinavian shows and Amsterdam, even Berlin and Brasil carry men skirts often enough.

You can get decent second hand kilts from reputable makers like Locharron for around £250, or even less on ebay :wink: I would NEVER bother with the Pakistani made PV tat that I've seen from £50 upwards. Kilt Suits can be bought from £850 from somewhere decent like Kilts4U 8)

Kilty, you make a really good point - second hand kilts. That’s a great way to buy a proper kilt at a reasonable price.

As for kilt suits, I have one, but it was rather more than £850! Still the best clothing bargain I’ve had. The quality is fabulous.

Certainly almost an Aptronym, although in Germany it would need to be Mr Rock. We had a fellow visiting our area testing water quality in private storages; Professor Waterman. Could it be a case of nominative determinism?

You do look great in your kilt suit :wink: I bought one at KapitalKilts.com but it was "cheap" at £850 as it was ex display.

I have always wanted a kilt suit, Scotland Kilt Company have a good one in Blue tweed but it's £1200 :shock:

I bought a nice Hebridean Fire kilt suit from KiltStore, it was around £800, but looks great! :D

Ex hire kilts are great, Isle of Skye which is a nice tartan can be bought ex hire for £99 on ebay. Type "defunct kilt sale" in the search and there is one seller selling ex hire stock of a rival that has gone under... nice tartans are there at good quality and low price :)

There seems to be some interest in MIS in continental Europe. One has to wonder if, eventually, someone there will market a garment that actually gains traction.

There are an increasing number of manufacturers of kilts/skirts for men. The main problem seems to be overcoming the inertia of men's reluctance to buy and wear them.
