Brad Pitt Says Men May Start Wearing Skirts After 'Troy' 
"Men will be wearing skirts by next summer. That's my prediction and proclamation," he said with a laugh. "The film answers to both genders. We were going for realism and Greeks wore skirts all the time then."

I once saw a talk show about 20 years ago that had as a guest a virile, handsome bearded man--wearing an ankle-length dress (very conservatively styled, too.) He was not ashamed and predicted other men would start doing the same.

When I was going to college in Hawaii, I used to work as a server at a Polynesian restaurant for some time. We (men) were required to wear Polynesian traditional skirt-looking dress. (called lava-lava) I found it really weird first but got used to it soon. I guess being in that cultural environment helped me feel it was a normal thing to do. But, I doubt I could walk out on the street wearing it now.

I have a sport kilt that I use hanging around the house and used post race when my asperations were higher. Very comfortable, plenty of breathing room.
I would think a bigger indication of men wearing skirts would be the sudden popularity, amoung men, of makeup, nail polish, hip huggers and other traditional feminine accesories.

A much lower priced but very well regarded alternative would be the Mountain Kilt made by Mountain Hardwear. Runs about $50 I think and if it's like anything else made by Mountain Hardwear, it'll last through several apocalypses (or would the plural be apocali?).
