    No, I'm not enthusiatic. I've seen pics of floor length men's skirts which are made in Belgium and they wouldn't be my scene. I think these long kilts would be impractical and would look too much like women's formal evening wear. If I wanted to wear a floor length garment I would just wear trousers. While a knee length skirt on a man is commonly recognised as a kilt, an ankle length kilt would be perceived as a skirt.

    I wouldn't wear it
    but if you or anyone want to wear one I'm not good to say anything
    Just don't call it a kilt,because it isn't

    I just would not feel right. Like I was wearing womens clothes. I also think my freedom of movement would be hindered.

    Would I wear it? No

    Does it look like women's clothing? Well in that pic, yes, but I have seen several almost floor length men's skirts that don't look like women's cloths. (that sweater and shirt combo on top is not flattering to that model)

    Should anyone discriminate against someone wearing it? no. (lots of people want to discriminate against us for wearing our male unbifurcated garments - kilts- lets not stoop to the level of our discriminators)

    Just my opinion.

    full lenght???

    This has crossed the line into cross-dressing. To each his own, but this is not kilting. IMHO
