Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.
Nice piece of kit! I've a lot of weight to lose before I could 'fit' into that one, unfortunately. I don't think I could manage it before my next visit to the Austrian Goth paradise of Linz - shame, it'd go down really well, there!
Too much money! I'd want real leather for that price - as it is second hand!
With the postage that is £46 - starting price. So it will probably sell for between £50 and £60 if a couple of people bid. That's too much. I've just had an email today from UnionKilts to remind me that I can get a 10% discount there on any purchase before July - so I'd rather spend my money there and get a new kilt.
It's never too late to have a happy childhood . . .
But at 17" long they may be a tad too short for many...
Have fun,
Ian.

A tad short is putting it mildly. At 17" it would be 6-7 inches shorter
than the standard drop of 24" of most kilts resting just below the knee.
The kilt is offered apparently in one size fitting 32-38" with two buckle
straps on the right low waist. At the low end 32" and the upper end 38"
I do not think the kilt will look right. NO rear view of the pleats is shown
so you are guessing how many and the depth. The seller has sold these
from $60+ up to the By It Now price of 99.99. At $60.00 a fair value for
the item - at $100 go somewhere else. If your (low) waist is right in the
middle 34-36" the kilt should fit OK without tailoring modifications. Kilts
are for men but this one would look great on the female form at a night
clubbing event IMO!
"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 !

I can't take seriously any kilt that is less than £100 (US$200); it just will not have the build quality that I expect and will thus (to me) be a waste of money. A leather kilt is going to be north of £500+ (US$1,000) to be a proper leather kilt. I believe that the imitation leather 21st Century kilt is about £250 so that puts things in perspective.
