The ‘He-Skirt’ For Men, 1960s

The 'He-Skirt' was a brief fashion in the mid 1960s that didn't quite work. Designer Barney Dorcus was one of New York's mostcolorful and influential clothiers, and his career had one unvarying motivation: his persistent, corrosive bodyodor. "I don't know what it is," he told an interviewer. "I don't eat garlic. I wash up. Even in the places you're not supposed to spend a lot of time touching. Okay, cigars now and then, what guy doesn't. But that don't explainwhy I smell like a hippo's ass ten minutes after I get outta the bathtub. Itain't the soap. I tried switching to Cameo. F--kin' nothin'."

It's quite possible that the He-Skirt was desigend for airflow - who knows. Either way, pressure from investors put the idea to bed, and the idea - at least Dorcus' ideas - never made their way into market.

Outside Western cultures, men's clothing commonly includes skirts and skirt-like garments; however, in North America and much of Europe, the wearing of a skirt is today usually seen as typical for women and girls and not men and boys, themost notable exceptions being the cassock and the kilt. People have variously attempted to promote the wearing of skirts by men in Western culture and to do away with this gender distinction, however skirts have been a female garment since the 16thCentury, and was left behind by men due to a cultural convention along the time, albeit with limited general success and considerable cultural resistance.

The crazy jingle:

She Skirt - He-Skirt - They-Skirt - We-Skirt!
Wear a lotta Dorcus and the gang'll all say Gee Skirt!
Men, you gotta bare it for a solid Dorcus Whee Spurt!
He-Skirt! He-Skirt! He-Skirt! He-Skirt!
