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.

When asked 'Why the Kilt?'
I respond-The why is F.T.H.O.I. (For The H--- Of It)
Show that to a cop and it maybe a get out of jail free card (DWI) !
How APT - pra-po !
"YES SKIRTING MATTERS"!
"Kilt-On" -or- as the case may be "Skirt-On" !
WHY ?
Isn't wearing a kilt enough?
Well a skirt will do in a pinch!
Make mine short and don't you dare think of pinching there !
I guess I am some kind of drunk then as I love the sound of a bag pipe. Can you Imagen being on the battle field in ww1 and ww2 with the fog lying low to the ground and hear them playing. The fear they strike in your heart knowing you can't place where they were coming from and suddenly they were upon you in force screaming and killing. The Germans called the Scottish regiments the "Ladies from hades" for good reason.

You do not do well to disparage the pipes!!
They are one of the only instruments that I really enjoy listening to. I have many records, tapes, and CD of the pipes One of my favorite bands is "The Band of the Black Watch".

I've always thought they were created by some drunk Scottish chicken farmer. Take a mutant chicken with one leg splayed downward, another splayed upward, then four or five heads. Put its body underneath your arm, tickle one leg with your fingers and try to blow into the other leg, while squeezing said chicken's body.
Granted, we've had a chicken coop for a few years, and a year or two ago, had five or six roosters. When they'd get going, you'd think that a pipe band was practicing early in the morning. Drove me insane. Now we're down to one rooster, so it only sounds like a solo piper.
