I love the skirt! - exactly the sort that I would normally look for. Subject to improving finances I would buy one.

Positive criticism?
Wear the black shoes, not the pale grey ones.
The outfits themselves are fine and show the versatility of the skirt itself, which is good.
Take some pics with decent light to show the skirt from all angles.

The FB site could do with showing some basic specifications of the skirt; length, number and location of pockets, material, any lining etc.
The design itself looks as though you could make it in a variety of materials and weights of material, and various colours.

I'm currently trying (and failing) to find a business type a-line skirt in navy, to match an existing jacket, and something like this would work very nicely in wool or cotton.

The skirt looks nice and versatile, with great swing and deep pockets.
The lenght is just right for me.
I would prefer a more light colour like tan though.

Like Straightfairy I would like to see views from the sides and the back to get a full impression.

Keep up the good work!

Yes, yes, yes!
Tired of so many dimly lit pictures of dark garments where all detail is lost.

Otherwise, it looks like a decent skirt , through too long for my taste.

The bestest most +Positive+ ad/commercial for the promotion of 'Men wearing Skirts' !

"Skirt-On"
rma
"YES SKIRTING MATTERS"!
"Kilt-On" -or- as the case may be "Skirt-On" !
WHY ?
Isn't wearing a kilt enough?
Well a skirt will do in a pinch!
Make mine short and don't you dare think of pinching there !

The Dutch fashiondesigner Hans Noordstrand in 2006 had the same idea as MrUtopia and he called it the Hansrok=Hansskirt, an everyday wear universal skirt.
The style is about the same as the Freeman design but it is only available as a suit including a jacket I don't want as shown in the picture.
It is made to measure so you can imagine it to be very expensive, probably more then 1000 euro's.
Not in a 1000 years...........

Thank you for the great feed back.
I am waiting to get the professionally made sample and then will take many more pictures and show all the detail and give all the specifications. I do not want to show this prototype to closely as it is my un-professional workmanship. I will also be giving details of the colours, lengths and materials available.

Thanks again and keep the comments coming.

Spread the word, share the links, keep the revolution going.

The work goes on. I was shown the first sample today and have sent it back for some improvements before I present it to the public. I hope to have it back in 5 days. Until then, please support my campaign and be part of the revolution.
