Re: Skirting when doing DIY projects
That's an awesome skirt, Mouse! I'm doing DIY and gardening daily and will wear a utility kilt or a skort with a resilient fabric, more or less the skirted equivalent of cargo shorts I suppose. Rugged fabric that's easy to wash and lots of pockets. No sense in getting too dressed up for dirty jobs. ...

Re: Hypothethical Question
When I'm wearing a skirt, I am being gender conforming...I'm being a man and living how I want to live and not accepting a label that does not apply to me. Who knows how much time I have left on this miserable rock we live on, I'm certainly not waiting years for it to be "normal".

Re: Out and About -- In the World at Large
Was working on my bicycle today, wearing a utility skirt...found out I needed a new part and didn't want to wait a few days to get it by mail so I drove into town to visit the local bike shop. The saleswoman remembered me from when we bought a bike a few months back and we went into the storage to v...

Re: Hypothethical Question
In my opinion, the moment we conflate skirts with gender, we've lost the average guy -- and that's where the target audience is. As I said, "lofty goals". Language is important. Yes! This is my issue with wearing skirts meaning I'm being "gender non-conformant". That just reinfo...

Re: Advice on kilts
Even though I’ve worn skirts before in public they have been hidden under a trench coat and I always wear black skirts, tops and leggings as my outfit so I’ll have to pluck the courage to wear my kilt which is bright greys. I’m just afraid I might get some negative comments but I know I’ll do it as...

Re: skirts for men
All we need to do is the accept the fact that we are gender non-conforming and where the feminine clothing (skirts, dresses, high heels, pantyhose, etc) that we want to wear. When people ask, I simply respond that I am gender non-conforming and tell them to google the term for a good definition. Th...

Re: The Macabi Skirt
On me, I am not sure how the length would be described: midi?; maxi? The Short/L Slim on me hits mid-calf when worn at the natural waist. Might be nice on a cool summer evening. Looks nice enough and maybe a bit less poofy around the hips than my usual knee-length ones. Not used to walking around i...

Re: Out and About -- In the World at Large
So sorry you had a bad experience. I went on a larger family trip to WDW and wore kilts, exclusively all week. Yes they drew a lot of attention. As a matter of fact, almost every time I went through the park gates, I was “randomly selected for additional screening”. Maybe it was just one of those d...

Re: Out and About -- In the World at Large
Went to Disney for a few days, as we do periodically. I wore shorts part of the time and a kilt (nice tartan utility style) one evening, just my preference for this trip. Usually the kilt is a positive experience but this time I felt kind of negative about it. The park was less crowded so maybe I wa...

Re: The Macabi Skirt
With the original there is no problem with walking. Thanks for the info, one of the closeout colors is one of my favorites so I took advantage of the close out sale. I also hadn't realized the longer skirts come in 3 lengths (31", 34", 38") so I went with the shortest one which is pr...

Re: The Macabi Skirt
I have maybe 6 of the knee-length Macabi's and have been wearing them quite a lot as the weather gets warm. They dry fast and seem to wear very well over time, they look the same as new even after a few years. If I get them dirty from working outside I just toss them in the wash like anything else. ...

Re: Pretty Skirts?
It's really difficult/uncomfortable for me to wear something with a pattern on it, which most "pretty" (or playful/fun) clothes seem to have. I completely realize this is due to conditioning, because give me a tartan kilt and I'm all over that and I'll wear it anywhere. I'll get over that,...
