Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.
I love wearing my mini skirts and am always looking for indications that I am not the only man in the world wearing one, of which I have found many here at Skirt Cafe. I have probably got to the stage where I wouldn't care if I was the only man in a skirt because in all my recent mini skirt wearing in public I have not come across another man in a skirt of any kind.
It was nice to discover that there is a whole culture with a tradition of men wearing very short skirts and adapted to present materials. It is in a similar climate to where I live (and alot more people in the future) and gives me more enthusiasm with creating my own personal style to suit my requirements for comfort, aethetics, practicality and affordability (also bucking convention as a bonus). I won't need to paint my legs white and don't have the physique now to go bare chested but I might extend my colour pallet a bit more.

Anthony, a denim miniskirt wearer in Outback Australia
That's so cool! I taught agronomy briefly in Ethiopia, but never met anyone like that. I'm not even sure where the Omo Valley is. I was in the Rift Valley, and at an ATVET college. Everyone wore trousers there. I had skirts with me but wore them only around my quarters. The young woman who tidied my quarters and also did my laundry, by hand, giggled about them. She didnt have much English, but did giggle when she presented my clean clothing, saying "miniskirt". I just laughed with her, and adored her. The only time I was nervous was being skirted when the village guard would pop in late at night when I was preparing labs or lectures to watch the World Cup games, on the only TV channel available. (I could get a TV channel but not a data signal to use the jetpack on my laptop) and would lay his AK47 beside the chair as he watched the games. He never mentioned the skirt I wore. I guess he just figured Americans were odd folks... Once I retire, I plan to do those exchanges every year. It was fantastic, and I love the Ethiopians.

Here is one of mini skirts and AK47
Yep, not a Kalashnikov. Not what my protector carried. Ironically, local tribesmen were hired as " field guards". They kept wild boar the size of small horses away from the crops at night, armed only with spears. And lived in tiny straw huts in the fields. Some were just kids. More balls than I could muster...
Not sure the model of that weapon, but doesnt look like the SKS rifles you can buy here. Its closer to my 1943 M1 carbine, but not that weapon either.
I dig those skirts for sure.
