I have a utilikilt (though not a leather one. Perhaps I'm just not THAT manly) - it has the biggest pockets of any garment I've ever owned. I could carry a 750ml bottle on each side.
This is only reinforcing the idea that skirts for men would be a brilliant thing all round. Men would get to wear skirts, for one. Two, women would suddenly be able to find skirts with pockets.
Sorry, considering how hard it is to find professional looking women's slacks with any sort of pockets at all, the idea of a skirt with said is joyously boggling.
The gendering of utilikilts is fascinating, because it throws the gendering of skirts into such stark relief. As soon as men wear a skirt: 1) it must loudly proclaim is *usefulness* right there in the name. Its utilitarian, not decorative! 2) not only does it have pockets, but it actually overcompensates in the pocket department somewhat, and has giant pockets (which actually does make it useful in some contexts). 3) and most of them come with the option of a 'modesty snap', which joins it at the crotch so people can't look up your kilt if you are climbing ladders or trees of something. Which seems a reasonable idea, but then gets you thinking about why skirts never have this, and it became necessary only when it was male modesty that needed preservation.
