Al,
Roman deliver to the USA for a reasonable delivery cost ( https://www.roman.co.uk/help/delivery ) but, of course, tariffs may apply... ;-)

Thank you Uncle Al.

As MrSoapsud points out they will ship to the US for £5. Since the skirt is 25% off, even with carriage you will be still in pocket. Also if you order now and quote BLISS in the special code area at checkout, you will get another 10% off you order.

I have been impressed with all the Roman skirts I have bought and since this skirt is knitted, they included a small packet of black and white thread, so you could make small repairs, if you damaged your skirt. First skirt I have bought with included repair thread.
Daily, a happy man in a skirt...

In addition, folks signing up to the Roman email newsletter (bottom right of the Roman website's pages) will receive a discount code for 20% off their first order.
I'm not sure whether all of the different discount codes can be used in combination though.

Well here you are, day by day in pictures, along with where I went and paraded my skirts. Every picture is outside and in public, whether it is in the road outside my house or in central London.

...

Some of us are just out there everyday living and working in skirts, showing the world that we are normal and skirting is normal for men.
Hi Mouse. You certainly know how to create good looking coherent outfits. Have you considered sharing these on Instagram or other social media, as I suspect you could build a good following - it would have the potential to reach a much larger audience.

Many Thanks, I take that as high praise coming from you.

The answer is yes, but I am worried about messing up my life balance as I have it now, with family and work. I think I will expand, but carefully.

I have been braver on this site by posting pictures in the accessible areas of the cafe, with links that work, so my picture now pops up on google when you search certain topics.

But thank you for the support, it means a lot.

If more people were to post publicly in a way that comes across as 'this is not a big deal', showing outfits that are harmonious and coherent with the person wearing them, then people generally will get used to seeing it and it won't be a big deal any more. Other people will also see it and start to copy it. It needs to clearly read as 'alternative male style'.

I think a general road block with the men's skirts movement has been the extreme fear of public perception, leading to most people talking about fighting personal confidence things / plus other people using them for shock value and a joke, instead of practical information on how to put together outfits that are harmonious with a male body.

The LGBTQ movement probably has much more public visibility just because that community has been MUCH more vocal. There is no analogous events to 'pride' regarding 'I'm a guy and wear skirted garments because they are comfortable / offer an avenue for style experimentation.
