Men's Skirt Brand Launch
Hey guys! You'll remember some time back when I asked for advice about how to make great skirts for men. I hope you'll forgive this promotional posting, but I'm excited to announce the fruits of this labour - the launch of Acton Apparel, a D2C brand that makes the best skirts for men, women, all, in a week's time.

I don't use Instagram.
Do you have it listed at another location other than Instagram
Thanks

Me neither and I can't be bothered creating yet another fake account (I am a real person at Skirt Cafe).

We are not known for over-reliance on social media here, mainly because most of it is actually anti-social.

Re: Men's Skirt Brand Launch
Today, I received an email from and about this company.
Their website, https://actonapparel.com/, is up and running but,
their pricing is out of left field. I can, almost, purchase two(2)
Still Water Kilts for the price of one(1) of their skirts.
If the "NEW" company wants to attract attention to, and for, their
products, their pricing needs to be enticing to the general public.
I really like the skirt-suit 'look' but I can create that look with
'off-the-peg' items for less money than one of their skirts.

Re: Men's Skirt Brand Launch
FWIW, I applaud their efforts. While their prices are high... they aren't as high as say, Thom Browne, and are inline with other fashion retailers (Nordstrom, Anthropologie, etc...). Are they priced for everyone, or even a lot of people here? Not really. But, I think they nailed the styles, just my opinion. Are they exciting or ground breaking designs you couldn't find via the second market? Many here would say "no", but then again, my guess is the people they are aiming for wouldn't set foot in that kind of a shop. Plus, if they had been $75, for some that would still be too high.
I guess what I'm saying is - if my budget were higher I'd go for the Adjustable Wrap skirt.
However... their website...
1) no rollover styles for size chart link - nor is there any indication it is a link... which is interesting as it looks like a Shopify site and you'd think Shopify would have these things covered
2) where they have links with an underline, the rollover state does not show a lot of contrast (this and the previous issue could be custom styles misapplied)
3) Model photos for each skirt just show the lower torso and footwear. One thing that I look at companies is to get suggestions on what would pair well with something, would appreciate full outfits modeled in the future. Budgets as they are, I can understand if they were limited in photography... also, no casual photos which I think is a shame.
4) I think they have a bad email listed on their shipping page - it ends in a domain that isn't registered anywhere: adonix-apparel.com.

Re: Men's Skirt Brand Launch
Nice to see the website working now, the skirts look okay but I must admit I would like something more cargo skirty- phone, pager, wallet, stuff, I need a few pockets. Also the prices are too high for me. I like that there is a new company making skirts for men and hope they succeed.

Re: Men's Skirt Brand Launch
Looking at their website, I couldn't find where Acton Apparel is based (though probably it's in the US, because in the UK the word apparel is a rarity except in poetical or biblical contexts). So although the prices include worldwide carriage, buyers can't know whether they will also be hit for customs duty, customs clearance fees, VAT etc.

Re: Men's Skirt Brand Launch
I was suspecting Canada, but yeah, I tend to like to know where I’m buying from. If a retailer doesn’t list a location, I’l less likely to purchase (especially at those prices).
