I bought a few kilts of Amazon US. Material is arcyllic wool but they don't always do the pleats right. Nice to see the ones here are nicely pleated to the stripe. I found it curious when in the US to find that pleating to the stripe was so common. In the UK, pleating to the sett is widespread in o...

I am booked to sing with a mixed a capella group for a memorial service at the end of the week. A good programme: Victoria Requiem (opening section), Lauridsen O magnum mysterium, and the last part of Byrd's Mass for four voices.

remember that the pants go on last, over the suspenders..... I have to say I have not found this advice ideally helpful! My experience was that suspender straps worn inside the pants gradually ratcheted down the pants, which was not a comfortable sensation! I prefer to keep the straps on the outsid...

A couple of years ago I read about a UK company that specifically makes satin underwear for men, so it must be a common preference. I didn't keep the details as it's not really my thing, but if I see it again I will post.

Around 35 years ago, a friend was required to wear a skirt for her office job, even though she was a computer hardware engineer and her job sometimes involved crawling under people's desks! But I don't think that is likely now.

My visceral hatred of denim stems from its absolute ubiquity. I sympathise. I stopped wearing blue jeans when I was about 16 for that reason (though I like black and red jeans). But I have found it liberating to be able to go back to blue denim in the form.of a denim kilt, which is not (for men) a ...

I wore kilts for 30 years before daring to branch out into [other] skirts. As well as several traditional tartan kilts and a khaki utility kilt (and formerly a plain Irish tweed), I have kilts in plain blue, brown corduroy, and blue denim. Unfortunately the makers of the last two, Union Kilts, seem ...

I showed Mrs Bookworm the picture from the Daily Fail of the guy in a skirt, and she said "there's a problem?"...

Nice sound. What's the difference between a flute and a recorder; it looks more like the latter. A recorder (called a "block flute" in German) has the breath directed against a sharp edge by a narrow channel in the mouthpiece, whereas a (transverse) flute has a free edge, and the player m...

I get a purple box and the message "content not viewable in your region".

I have a pencil skirt in black mock leather which I haven't dared to wear outside the house. Its all a matter of managing the risk. That's why I quoted you MB. Could you do the same? Change on the train. Once you are in London, who cares? I bought a shirt dress online. I'm not particularly keen on ...

Context! Deliberately theatrical costume gets a pass (like full drag). My college chaplain once wore girls' school uniform to a party (fancy dress: St Trinian's), but not in public.

I certainly wore brown T-bar sandals as a child in the 1960s (and coveted the open-toed sandals worn by adult men).

Probably four or five days in the week (if you count dresses too). I do have some useful trousers, especially on days when I am trying to get housework or gardening done, and a few pairs of shorts (but not the long baggy ones favoured by 'Blokes'). I also dress more conservatively when meeting peopl...
