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 believe that this is the first time I have come across the term "shell skirt".
I have commented on this topic before...I think these garments might be useful in dealing with cold or rain. But I am skeptical about blocking out wind.
I wonder (a) how good they are for the environment and (b) how much the workers are being paid in their sweat shop.
Buying cheap stuff like that is likely to be irresponsible.
YES, these are important considerations. But I have no assurance the more expensive stuff is any better in this regard. Houdini's written philosophy on sustainability is at least hopeful.
I buy almost all my clothing used. The world has much more clothing than is needed.

The right material, and they may help quite a bit with wind.
Hi Dust,
That would only work if it is floor sweeper length and highly insulative too.
I certainly would not venture out on high ground in winter in one of these skirts.
That said, I would be unlikely to in any kind of skirt, that's for the balmy summer days.
The temperatures can reach a scorching 10 C on a really good day in Scotland, it may not even rain.
Steve.
