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.

I'm a child of the 60's - and so I'd like to see links to some hippy products. You know, like beads and bells to wear while skirting . . .
I haven't worn any 'tie & dye' stuff for a very long time!
I look back on my hippy (or Freak) years as being a very good time. But the drugs may have had something to do with that.
Nevertheless, I have come to appreciate that in many respects, the hippies were just as tightly bound by convention as their Victorian grandparents were. For instance, the attitude of many hippy men toward women was very condescending in those days. And in terms of fashion, although men were happy to wear beads and bells and multi-coloured loon pants etc. - we certainly didn't dare to wear a skirt!
Thanks for posting the link Ziggy. It's interesting to see how primitive the hippy fashions look from our viewpoint in 2007 - and yet at the time they were very daring and . . . (dare I say) far out!

I checked out the UK tie/dye link that you have there Ziggy - and I like their jackets very much. Cheap too. I like the black with multi colour tie/dye on it.
But I wouldn't like to buy something like that over the net as you would not get exactly what is shown on the website. However - by good great luck, the people doing that tie/dye are only about 20 miles or so away from me - so I can go and visit them and choose a jacket that I like.
That's again Ziggy. You've opened up a whole new area of fashion for me . . .
