Hey HN! We've just launched Acton Apparel: a better skirts brand for men, women, all, out of a D2C venture builder.
We tried to make great skirts - we added some pockets, and built-in belts so that it fits everyone, all the time.
We're excited to find out if this will work, and who will buy, but honestly, we just think that skirts are great and everyone should wear them.
Anyways please check us out at: https://actonapparel.com.

Any particular reason you went for unisex rather than specifically for men?
The color choices strike me as more female-friendly than male-friendly. And while I know nothing at all about design, I'd anticipated something aimed specifically to flatter a male body (with less hips, and hairy legs, and probably other things). I don't know how one would go about that, but I would have expected it to work better to target specifically to men rather than unisex.
I very much appreciate that It's Got Pockets(tm), and they appear to be very well made. I keep thinking that somebody has got to be able to make skirts work for men, even though I don't know how to make that happen. I really hope you do.

I have to admit that I've worn a skirt around the house from time to time. It can be pretty comfortable.
I’ve warn a dressing gown it’s pretty much the same thing when you think about it
Nice idea! I wouldn’t feel confident to wear a skirt as a guy but I hope it catches on.
I have always thought this is the perfect outfit for a hot summer day
Having wore a kilt many times, I can say it's very comfortable!
My son might wear those though. He's pretty trendy.
But I come to HN to get exposed to completely new ideas and ways of doing things. This is a prime example.
I'm excited to see what comes of it and if other brands jump into it.
