Out and About -- In the World at Large

I guess I'm in the minority, but I'd love me a good "cargo skirt" that was a bit above the knee and fit nicely.

Isn't that more or less what the original Skirtcraft design was about? Except for the knee: mine lies more or less on the knee. It has excellent pockets, and my wife approves of it

Are they still in business? I might have to go ahead and get one here at some point... Spendy, but I've heard his things.

Skirtcraft skirts are still available. Ordered my first from him a few months ago. It arrived really fast and is of excellent quality. I’ve been wearing it frequently around Duluth with either no reaction or very positive feedback.

total freedom of movement but no pockets so I always have a jacket on to carry my phone which measures my strides etc.

Just spent a few days in the south of France, all the guys have man-bags (like a camera or binocular case) worn diagonally over the shoulder and they were all wearing trousers or shorts with pockets. Seems to be A la Mode and practical when its too hot for a jacket. I have a hiking pack (bum bag) that I hang over one shoulder.

It was very hot, mid to high 30°'s C in the shade, so I ended up skirted every day just to keep cool (along with copious amounts of cold beer) rather than when it took my fancy. Never saw another skirted guy.....

Most of the time I have my backpack with me, it is big enough to hold clothes, equipment and toys (iPad + charger) for a couple of days as well as my collection of prescription drugs. That is as near as I get to a man bag. No need to take that on my little walks.

I’m a cargo skirt fan as well. I have quite a few utility kilts which I like, but I would rather wear utility skirts due to much less bulk and weight, plus they are a lot cheaper. The rate limiting factor is skirt confidence and how my SO will react. If she was supportive/encouraging I could probably venture out like I regularly do in kilts, which she has accepted. Skirts will probably take more time for acceptance, if ever.

I have one Skirtcraft unaligned skirt, which I like but have not worn yet due to the above reason. Helikon Tex makes a great utility skirt that bests most pants and shorts in pockets, both in size and quantity.

Mountain Hardwear made a lightweight hiking kilt which I own in three colors that is very skirt like in feel and appearance that is my go-to for walks on very hot days and lounging at home. Sportkilt has added a very similar version to their hiking kilts (which are very comfortable too), but so far it’s available only in a dark olive green .

Pockets are a must for me. Carrying a purse is not my personal bag, pun aside. In fact, my SO appreciates the fact that I try to buy her skirts and skorts with functional pockets as well, although she still brings at least two purses with her wherever she goes .
