Re: H'Mong skirt

In London I see many men in dresses, some very fancy and colourful, others just white. Some go down to the ground, while others are midi, tea or maxi. It means a Mouse in a denim skirt, is just another man in a skirted garment. I would never think to borrow their culture/religious style, since I hav...

Re: Bomber Jacket & skirt Walmart

Sorry Mouse, I don't have pictures and I don't post pictures online. There are at least two groups of people have taken pictures of me wearing different outfits. And i don't have direct access to those pictures either and have posted online. One group hates men that they see are wearing "sissy...

Re: My #4 skirt - Major boohoo

Some projects teach you things, but do not result in a useful garment. Stretchy material is difficult to work with, especially if do not realise about the stretch early on in the project. I also wonder if the fabric is right for the pattern. The final thought to bear in mind is how happy and confide...

Are there any pictures of you wearing the set? I love to see other members in the clothes they love.

Re: H'Mong skirt

I think we should go carefully when taking skirts from various cultures and settings. I think we have so many types of skirts to choose from, keeping away from a small number of sensitive skirt types seems sensible?

Re: Style

It's quite a narrow band Mouse. How do you know if it's tea length or not? I have just bought a longer skirt. I look like nun on her day off in it. but it might be tea length (on me at least at 25.5 inches) A lot seems to depend on hip position and the length of the wearers legs. Yes like any skirt...

Re: America - 250 years

.........there’s probably no mention of this history in the video (I haven’t seen it and have no interest in it) The video is from an American company selling a new tarten that they will make into a kilt for you. Their YouTube channel has plenty of Scottish content, since they are showing what they...

I always smile at the "Tea" length in these charts. I have yet to come across a skirt sold as tea length. May be I do not shop in the type of places that know a tea length skirt when they see it?

Re: Brogue Shoes

I have been going with shoes with a longer skirt to show my tights off. Boots with this length of skirt, just show boots and you loose the colour of the tights. Depends what look you are going for. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55090326279_2a8d664a96_b.jpg I like the colour of the shoes and th...

Re: My 3rd kilt

Looks good on you. I always thing a camouflage pattern is good for a male skirt.

Well done for making a kilt. I know the work involved, having made two.

Re: White Stuff skirts

I now have a few White Stuff cord skirts and they definitely tick most boxes of a skirt for men. Nice sturdy cord, knee length and pockets actually comparable to mens trousers. Only issue is sizing as they always come up big, size down. Seasalt is another similar brand. Do you have any links to the...

Re: Rigger boots

Just to be technical. Rigger boots are no longer allowed on uk sites (that's not all sites, only sites which fall under HSE CDM regulations). Safety boots need to be laceup with ankle protection, steel toe caps and a steel midsole. I remember there were lots of long faces when they could not used a...

Re: Rigger boots

Nice boots and clean and shiny. Will look good under your skirts. These are mine, I used them on building sites for many years, but now we have to wear proper PPE boots, since I believe they are not thought safe on site any more. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53691271780_f430e25a53_b.jpg I now...
