Re: Kilt length - advice requested

Soccer/rugby socks, good idea! As for surgical sockery, I now see a lot of adverts for diabetic socks, I wonder if they might stay up better, might be worth thinking about, I have been wondering what was so special about socks for diabetics, probably because so far my feet are neuropathy free as far...

Re: Kilt length - advice requested

We (yes, I am over generalizing here, always wear socks pulled up to the knee with kilts. It mimics the traditional but given the kilts these days ain’t the kilts of yore, why keep to these pulled up socks. I never wear socks that high unless I’m playing soccer and need something to keep the shin g...

Re: That Damn Denim

50 years ago.... About the time when females were rapidly abandoning skirted outfits for twin tubes. The Powers That Be probably noticed a severe drop in demand for denim skirts, so figured it wisest to dump a product of declining profitability. Do we actually know this is true? Like are there data...

Re: That Damn Denim

Indeed, and to crib the line from The Blues Brothers, "If the sh!t fits, wear it!" I'll not try to stop you. Not my place. Nor was it my intention to denigrate denim as a fabric or its wearers when I kicked this thread off. I was trying to explore the likelihood of denim being the miracle...

Re: Skirt length???

Hi Cessna! I haven't seen anything from you for ages! Either you have been quiet or I have been following the wrong threads! Good to see you are still around!

Re: That Damn Denim

I have 5 or 6 denim skirts, various lengths and mostly with a decent selection of pockets.

Hi, and welcome (again), who were you in your last re-incarnation? I am just curious, wondering if you are familiar to me!

Re: Alternate names for a men's skirt - but make it corny/awful

A pant, or if denim, a jean. Since skirts don't come in pairs.

Re: What feminine items do you wear?

I was ignoring this thread, however, most of my skirts are marketed as women's skirts, so I do wear feminine items I suppose. Nothing else though. Never felt the desire and as someone who is well over 6 foot and large framed, if I did find feminine items I wanted to wear and that actually fitted me,...

Re: Extending the waisline of a kilt?

My first kilt needed to grow to fit me as I expanded, a friend did it by letting out one of the pleats, this was a long time ago but I assume she also moved the straps to suit. I now have the opposite problem, having dropped from 21.5 stone to 17 stone 2lb thanks to health problems. The weight loss ...

Re: Kilt length - advice requested

When I was measured up for my first kilt, the measurist got me to kneel on the floor, the kilt should just touch the ground when you kneel, the top of the kilt at the natural waist which is just below the ribs. That was for a traditional formal kilt type thing. Speaking of which, I wish I could lose...

Re: Out and About -- In the World at Large

This was not so good. On a full bus, a female had decided that her sandwich bag needed a seat more than me. <snip> Some people just have to be made aware that if they step out of line, that they must expect consequences. Steve. That would leave a sour note in my mouth, I would struggle to stay poli...
