Very good indeed! To my opinion you set an example of how to wear a skirt being a man.
If you would post these two pictures in the topic "What makes a skirt masculine" no words would be needed; these pics say it all.
By the way, where did you find that awesome jeans skirt?

I think I have about 5 skirts from Style J now. Well made, reasonable pockets, good skirts. Pity about the cost of importing them to the U of K.

I love the declaration, Ron. Quite hardline. What if one day you have some chore to do, for which trousers are the only practical option?

B&B, didn't you say somewhere on here that all your skirts were sold as men's skirts? As we can see from Ron's pic, it hardly matters!

No I didn't, quite a few of my skirts are sold from over the (online) aisle but so far the skirts I have worn in public have been mostly either kilt or Midas denim skirts, The Style J skirts would also be great but apart from one calf length rather straight one with a short split at the back(office skirt type), the ones I have ordered are all floor length, just a bit too long really and with a tendency to get dirty hems outside, I wear them around the house and save the Midas skirts for outside. Must get a camera out and have more piccies taken with my current skirt selection. Style J seem to do a lot of 41" length skirts and I seem to keep buying them. The Midas long custom skirt is 40" and tends to sit above my toes, maybe the male waist shape makes a difference as well.

Ron, I love your choice in skirts and your general image, very striking, the skirts are the sort of thing I would happily wear.

my Style J skirts are 38" length and a lot less expensive than Midas denim skirts,

Ron,
My problem is that I live in the U of K, Style J cost the price of the skirt and at least as much again in import duty and delivery. Midas are from Manchester so they actually work out a bit cheaper for me as well as being built to order, most of my Midas are custom lengths. I do like the Style J stuff, but I would like to replace some of their pockets with something larger, most of them are on the small side. I must admit though that the Midas cargo skirt pockets are smaller than ordinary jeans pockets, at least the top front ones are.
I just wish Midas would do something about their website, it is years out of date and must be costing them business, that is if they are still going! I am starting to worry because I don't know of anywhere else who will custom make affordable skirts for men.

I agree that Midas needs to do something with there web site,it is very out of date.
I got some Style J skirts for about $45 each and last time
I looked Midas skirts were almost $300 each

Sabine Seidel makes mens skirt to measure. I ordered a long jeans skirt a few years ago and I was, and still am, quite satisfied with its fit and durability.
In the meantime I shortened it by some 10 inches to make it more of a summer garment and to ride the bike in it.
The language is German however and that could pose a problem. Even I as a Dutchman had trouble to find the right terminology to fill out the orderform.
Google translate proved helpfull.
Have a look at http://www.mode-trend-s.de and surf to männerröcke.

Surely if a skirt is "made to measure" the wearer's sex does not matter very much.

What does Sabine do to her products that identify them as "men's skirts"?

This is very simple, Martin; these skirts can be found in the "mens department" of her site. Or, in German, Männerröcke.
The fit differs from womens skirts as women have a different waist/hip shape curve.

Yep, seems like a really good catalog, next time I am shopping I will consider one from them.
