That’s not entirely true, is it?

Re: Sightings "in the wild"
I suppose it would have been more accurate to say I didn't see anyone making a reaction to the skirt. One of the stallholders commented to me that he found it a bit creepy the way "that bloke over there" had just run his hands over a carved soapstone human skull that was on his stall -- but the fact that "that bloke" happened to be wearing a skirt wasn't mentioned. (I found it a bit creepy that the skull was there in the first place.)
My attention was initially drawn to the skirt itself, it was a lovely black ankle-length skirt that moved beautifully and I quite envied it ...then I noticed it was being worn by a man.
There is no such thing as a normal person, only someone you don't know very well yet.

Yesterday, a bearded young man walked past wearing...would looked like an ankle length dress.

Not sure, Dust. Can't say that I know much about Middle Eastern clothing.

Re: Sightings "in the wild"
I saw a few other dudes in kilts there (counted at least three, maybe four) and talked to one of them. He ran in a 5.11 Tactical kilt. At least one other guy looked like he ran in a tartan kilt of some sort, I'm assuming it was a modern washable variant.
I'm interested in doing this, and would love to wear my kilt. Do others think it's practical to do it in a kilt/skirt?

Re: Sightings "in the wild"
Possible definitely, practical if it is nice and short. The less friction and flapping of cloth the better.stephanie53 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 04, 2022 1:54 pm I'm interested in doing this, and would love to wear my kilt. Do others think it's practical to do it in a kilt/skirt?

Re: Sightings "in the wild"
Running in a skirt can be great, but depending on your build, chaffing between your thighs can be a thing. I'm on the cusp of having that issue. When I run trails I'm usually good, but on streets and sidewalks I'll sometimes have issues. Something about the constant side changes on the trails seem to help. Or if I haven't been running skirted for a while I'll have more issues.

Re: Sightings "in the wild"
I've signed up for a 7/30 mud race! Also ordered a JWalker kilt to wear. Excited to see how this is going to work, as I've never done 1 before. Watching a YouTube video, I'm going to be so covered in mud. Obstacle course so lots of climbing, crawling, beam walking, and rope swinging YAH! Will start some training tomorrow.

Re: Sightings "in the wild"
I thought skirts prevented chaffing? That aside, my problem with shorts/undies was sweat rash around the upper inside legs which seems to happen less runnign around in skirts.Dust wrote: ↑Sun Jun 05, 2022 7:35 pm Running in a skirt can be great, but depending on your build, chaffing between your thighs can be a thing.

I'm my experience, chaffing seems to be an underwear related issue.howardfh wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 10:32 pmI thought skirts prevented chaffing?

Re: Sightings "in the wild"
I'm beginning to wonder whether this discussion refers to chafing rather than chaffing -- which is a rather different thing
Re: Sightings "in the wild"
Skirts eliminate one source of rubbing (from the inseams) and allow another (skin to skin). Nothing is perfect, and I'd prefer dealing with the later most of the time. Walking around casually also has different issues from vigorous exercise.howardfh wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 10:32 pmI thought skirts prevented chaffing?

Underwear is definitely an issue, one we probably shouldn't get into in too much detail. That said, don't exercise in cheap, crappy cotton, and you'll probably be fine. I've found that the longer the period of exercise, the worse clothing issues become, especially if there are breaks in there where sweat starts to dry leaving salt that turns relatively comfortable fabrics into sandpaper.
Re: Sightings "in the wild"
Quite a few women friends have told me that they prefer skorts to skirts because the built-in shorts are better for preventing thigh-rub or "chub rub" as they call it.
