Re: My 2nd Kilt
Thanks. I have considered D rings and ladder locks, but I don't like having the straps double back towards the front. My apologies. I may not have described what I meant very well in my earlier post? The two D-rings are attached to the end of the front flap of the wrap skirt/kilt. A strap made out ...

Re: My 2nd Kilt
I'm experimenting with different closures so this kilt is closed using skirt/pants hook-and-bar. Leather/PU straps are nice but they cannot stand the hot wash and dryer. I had a chat via a messaging app, earlier in the week, with Stevej180 who makes his own wrap skirts/kilts. He has had success wit...

Re: That rare male compliment
-- I don't think I've ever gotten a direct discount for my choice of apparel -- At the London Meetup 6/2, five men in skirts were given a discount on a round of drinks by the barman for guessing that the word of the day was "skirts". :) Link to the post about the meetup at The Eagle pub a...

Re: UGG boots
Found this interview with Brian Smith, the founder of UGG Boots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFvjMy1BLok At 13mins 18 secs in, he talks about getting the UGG boots into the hands of stylists. He contacted around 40 stylists in the Hollywood area and offered them a free pair of UGG’s. So I reckon...

Re: Stressed over delayed parcel
Firstly, stop stressing out then ring Andertons at 10:00 on 01483 456777.
Explain the issue with the parcel being delayed.
Then it will becomes Anderton's problem, not all yours.

Re: Life Saving Tech
The Cybertruck's driver, Clifford, says that he was tired of driving so switched on the Full Self Driving Mode. If it was me, I think that I would have pulled into a rest stop instead, if one was available. I'm pleased to see that the car following Clifford, pulled over to see if he was alright (2mi...

Re: HVAC question…
So am currently at an impasse. Had the HVAC techs over... they agreed motor noise/vibration was unusual, told me to have it replaced along with the wheel. He did make one change - wired the highest speed to air conditioning and the next highest speed to heat (before, heat and cooling were both the ...

Re: Mouse's Wedge-heeled Boots
Not strictly platform boots, I rather like the wedge-heeled boots which Mouse wore to Meetup No 6/2 and his visit to "The Great Electric Train Show " . Are the boots still available to buy, Mouse? Link? This is the closest that Timberland now do to my wedges and they are available in 5 co...

Re: Imgur stopping photos from displaying in the UK
There is a workaround for UK users of SkirtCafe. As Imgur will not serve photos to UK IP address ranges, one should be able to use a VPN set to the USA say, to fool Imgur into serving the photos. Note: Imgur is a site that's entirely separate from SkirtCafe and we here have no control over it. My p...
