I have to wonder how much is related to where you work geographically. I work in a professional capacity at an international corporation where the dress code is "business casual", and it is rare to see a woman wearing a skirt much above the knee, long (ankle length) is much more common and...

Is that, custom made, home made or store bought?

Home made - did it myself. I got the fabric at Handock fabrics, but they have closed up since then. At least the one here did.

Here's another one that I wore today. This one is all forest camo. It's more typical of my other long kilts. It isn't obvious (which is the point) but it has 5 pockets on the front that fit cell phone, glasses, etc. and 2 large hand sized pockets behind for car keys, etc. And then on the inner apron...

Yeah., it looks real heavy, dead warm I'd guess? Curious about the badge on the apron, do tell! Smart, I just go lighter. Steve. It is just a cotton twill, not that heavy but certainly warmer than my knee length kilts. The Irish coat of arms is just a nod to my family heritage and I thought it woul...

Very impressive! Must be heavy though. What sort of place do you work? Not really heavy at all. It is about the same weight as some "fire hose pants" I have from Deluth Trading. I am in engineering where I encourage my team to think outside the box, break through boundries and do what &qu...

Tights help, but I prefer the ankle length myself. But then again, I don't like being cold.

Here is a long kilt I made that I wore to work today. It is my first with an actual plaid pattern, all my previous kilts have been camo or solid colors.

I did the front aprons in black because I saw a kilt somewhere done that way and liked the way it looked.

The pleats ARE NOT DECORATIVE I agree with Uncle Al. I have been making and wearing kilts for 7 or 8 years and the pleats are not decorative and absolutely serve a purpose. And the idea that they should be in front instead of in back as that would somehow create more freedom of movement just doesn'...

Go cat go!!!

I wear utility style kilts, but never have negative reactions. Usually no reaction and sometimes really positive ones. I say, just keep rolling with it.

For me, the prime mover is comfort. I exchange shorts for skirts. I have no insight into fashion so what goes with shorts should also go with skirts. The fabric is denim or twill because I like it sturdy Sounds a lot like me, comfort over fashion, function over form. Knee to ankle length, all of my...

I definitely have favorites. Out and about, I often wear kilts and now that it is cold out, I have made some long "winter length" kilts that go to my ankles - love those things! Around the house, I prefer skirts or long robes with my favorites being a couple denim tiered skirts from Baby-O...

My wife bought me a new brother about 10 years ago, it was around $80 and did all kinds of stuff and very easy to thread and use. A couple years ago I treated myself to a new heavy duty singer and while I like the singer better, it isn't that much better than the brother. It is just heavier duty, ha...

?.. And "to my eyes that makes it a skirt! Quotation mark. I called the same garment A long kilt. The comment was made by my wife... I had the same experience. I started out making my own kilts, and when it started getting cold, I made several long kilts (my name for it) which are identical to...

...caught my eye which is a 39" maxi denim in black (the blue which I would've liked was sold out), can't wait for it to arrive though 8) Not sure how long a 39" skirt is mind... I happpen to be wearing a 39" maxi tiered denim skirt in black that I bought on Amazon. It ends right at ...

Exactly what I thought too.
