Meant to post that in the other thread, sorry about that. It was early and I was stuck at the laundromat without coffee.

Reminds me of a running joke we have. When my daughter was young she thought A-1 steak sauce was "AL" steak sauce and we always joke about "passing the bottle of Al".

I had quite a nice day last.week, off to my usual spending a chunk of the day at the medical center. I was wearing one of my new skirts from India out for the first time. Reddish brown cotton, below knees, a bit of body to it. I had a shirt from Uniqlo with a Japanese artistic design that I felt wen...

It's a good example of the life of a MIS. The low level pressure of disapproving looks. I definitely feel the low level pressure of looks, as you so accurately describe it, but it's usually some mix of: confusion, novelty, curiosity or interest. Very rarely does it feel like flat out disapproval. O...

In the current state of affairs, the term "gender neutral" is such a big misrepresentation. It almost universally means "clothes for women who want to dress like men."

That's a great idea, thanks! It would be nice to have it fit a little better. Most of my skirts or kilts are either a bit stretchy in the waist or adjustable in some way, so I haven't run into this issue often.

The floatiness of skirts is the best part of wearing one. I don't get many complements, I'm starting to think my style is lacking.🤔 Thank you for your feedback! I'm sure most of us wish we got compliments regularly, I know I feel that way. I don't really have much of a style other than "swap b...

I wore my indigo SeamsFriendly skirt out to the medical center and a few other places today, the one seen here: https://www.skirtcafe.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=22552&start=120#p276031 First time really wearing it around other people, and it's got a lot more structure/body than I'm used to in a ...

To normalize skirts for men... For a start, stop using the word skirt. The word 'kilt' is commonly accepted by most people to signify a skirt that it is socially acceptable for a man to wear. It's a thorny subject here, but you're not wrong! I don't have any qualms about calling a skirt a skirt, bu...

If you create demand, the barriers to entry will take care of themselves. Right now there's not a herd of men demanding skirts to be available to them.

I have some plain cotton ones that do not seem stereotypically feminine. I also wear some of the regular kind that do not have any lace etc that are a good foundation under some types of skirts. It's probably worth noting as well that most women seem to have moved on from slips in favor of slip shor...

Oh gosh, I don't normally browse Off Topic and just saw this! Carl was an inspiration and a "character" in the finest sense of the word. I will definitely miss his presence here.

There but for the grace of the god of your choice, go you or I. Perhaps, in that very short time, I can think, maybe, just maybe, I presented him with hope. Very well said, Steve. This is one of the reasons I tend to push myself out in public on days I may not necessarily be "feeling it."...

So I got my order from SF a few days ago, I haven't been home to pick up the parcel until today. The order arrived within a few days of when they said it would, by US mail, and was nicely packed with a note and a sewn tote bag in the box that contained the skirts. Because my weight is fluctuating ri...

I agree, Grok, it's a wrap with a belt/tie. Anthropologically it'd be a skirt or an apron. I wonder about the origins of calling it a kilt?
