Hi, Donald here

[DonaldG]

Yes, I also find women like male kilt wearing. My black leather kilt was admired by the checkout assistant in my local (Scottish) Tesco - and she was middle-aged and with a South of England accent! Next time I went through her checkout she was disappointed that I was wearing trousers rather than a kilt!

Further to my comments about my wife's doubt about me wearing a skirt in public, when I appeared at the door ready to drive her to her church in Haddington last Sunday wearing a long leather skirt , her only comment was "are you going out wearing that skirt?". I said yes, did, she made no further comment about it, and I was actually disappointed that as I shopped while she was at church , no-one seemed to notice that I was wearing a skirt.

Real confidence booster - think I may now be addicted to wearing skirts!

I get that comment a lot from my wife! Or I used to, but now she knows the answer ("yes"), she often doesn't bother.

To all my fellow skirters. Sorry I've not replied to every post individually, but I've found them all very helpful, welcoming and encouraging.

Since joining the forum a week ago I've gone out in public on 3 occasions wearing skirts, none of which could possibly be regarded as a kilt. My courage to do so is largely down the the welcome I've receive here.

Thanks.

Donald

Yes, I am quite sure belonging to the forum has helped a lt of us over the first hurdle.
Never look back !

Hi DonaldG

A belated welcome to the site - as this is after our skirted meeting a few weeks back with Potbelly McK and Andrew (Jerevo)! like the look aof the stone-coloured cargo skirt - where did you get it?

Here's to the next meeting after the New Year but in the meantime, have a great Christmas!

[DonaldG]

Hi skirtingtoday, and thanks for the welcome.

I bought that cargo skirt a few years ago from a charity shop, but the label says Matalan. I have another similar one, in beige, also originally from Matalan (Papaya).

Progress on going out skirted - MOH no longer says "are you going out wearing that skirt? " when we leave the house together, but seems to just accept it as a normal way for me to dress. Yesterday I drove her to her choir practice in Haddington, wearing a denim maxi skirt. I bought it from a charity shop more than 15 years ago and have worn it many times at home, but this was the first time in public. I did some shopping in Aldi while she was in the church.

Yes, another meeting in the new year would be fun. I'll be in Central Edinburgh on Monday afternoon on my own before meeting up with Margaret, so if you or anyone else is free for a quick drink etc. that would be great.

Have a great Christmas.
Donald

Hi Donald, I have a khaki/beige cargo skirt which came from e-bay. It too was labelled "Papaya" which I found out later was from Matalan!

I am in the office (in Edinbugh) on Monday morning - then I am off until the New Year. I have to pick up my wife's watch from Fredrerick St (it needed a new battery) at lunchtime and then I am off home. Would have liked to have met up but it wouldn't be skirted.

Hi Ross,
I'll probably not get into town until about 1:30 pm , so likely not see you, but just in case you're still around then I've sent you a personal message with my mobile number.

Have a good Christmas.
Donald

[skirtingtoday]

Thanks Donald - Got your Mob No and sent you an e-mail back with my own number - in case you do get in earlier but for future reference anyway.

Have a great Christmas!

Hello Donald.

Only this last week rekindled my readings of posts on this forum. Various reasons and time. What little time I had over the last 12 months has been dedicated to getting my web site more known and a presence on Twitter, both promoting men in skirts. I have a very busy personal life and decided I should try and make more time for this forum as well in an effort to help others who can not be more open about their preference to skirts know that there are many like minded men in this world and they can get help and support.

I'm pleased to hear that your other half is supportive and that you do go out and about skirted or simply in clothes that your prefer. The more men that do so will hopefully make it more easier for those who cannot or feel that they cannot.

It is about time that society relaxed it's labels of expected dress code for men like it does now for women. Freedom of choice in whatever type and style of clothing should be open to all. Clothes do not make the person, its your personality that makes you.
