Men's bottoms: cuts, kilts and sizing
Trouser or kilt
The trousers carry the hardware, with removable leg straps, D-rings and buckles at the knee. The kilts do something different: they wrap and buckle at the side rather than pulling on, which makes them the most adjustable item in the men's range and the usual entry point for men buying a skirt.
| Piece | Fit | Hardware | Adjustability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strap trousers | Straight or skinny | Leg straps, D-rings | Low |
| Cargo | Loose | Pockets, webbing | Medium |
| Wrap kilt | Wrap, apron front | Side buckles, chains | High |
| Jogger | Tapered | Drawcord | High |
Sizing
Men's Asian sizing runs roughly two sizes below EU and US. Measure your waist in centimetres and read the table on the product page rather than ordering by your usual size. Kilts and joggers absorb a size; rigid denim does not.
Frequently asked
- Do men wear the kilts?
- Yes, and the wrap closure is why. It is the most common first skirt for men in the alternative scene.
- Are the leg straps removable?
- On most styles yes, they clip on with D-rings or snaps.
- What size do I take if I normally wear a European 34 waist?
- Order from the centimetre waist measurement on the product page. Letter and number sizes here run roughly two sizes below EU.
- Is a punk kilt the same as a Scottish kilt?
- No. A Scottish kilt is heavy pleated wool with a fixed pleat count. A punk kilt is lighter, shorter and strap-fastened.
