I have not purchased a skort. Never have seen one – that I know of.

Title Nine does NOT show a picture of the short inside a skort. Most are described as “boy shorts” Boy Shorts that I have seen are extremely unflattering of the female shape – and ride up in the back and are too short.

So, show me what the short part of the skort looks like. The “mesh” description sounds interesting – however, not the 3″ compression short that cuts off circulation and if viewed looks more sausagelike on female legs.

Just like to know what Title Nine skorts look like on the inside.

I love skorts – and I love Title 9 – which is why I’m a bit sad that so few of your skorts fit me! I apparently have wider hips relative to my waist (39/28) than the models your manufacturers use to make their patterns. The Run-Around-Skort is one of the few that would work – but I’d also like to have some dressy skorts (which is where skorts are most awesome – work clothes that can be comfy outdoor/travel clothes later).

Any possibility that more dressy skorts with adjustable waists might be in Title 9’s future?

Ended up in Jamaica after an ocean passage of four days. Skort was my only clean article of clothing and we wanted to go ziplining– No Problem! Works well under a harness!

Hi there — I enjoyed your anecdotes about some minds changed with these products…that’s my challenge now, too! Would love if you cool title niners would give ‘em a shot…my new PortaPocket line was just was featured on TODAY Show with Kathie Lee & Hoda last Monday
Strap these little cases on yourself under your clothes (whether skorts, dresses, pants, etc) to keep your personal items handy and not risk theft or loss of what’s important to you. Seems like a great fit for your active-women audience, but that’s just me!

Hooray for the Everywear skort! In general I am a non-skirt, non-dress kind of person, but I was looking for something that was casual/nice, but also wouldn’t impair my mobility. The first couple skorts I tried from Title Nine were great, but not for my body type. Apparently, I am one of the last few women left who were built with hips; the size that fit my hips left the waistband gapping in the back, so you could look “down” at my underwear (not quite the look I was going for). The Everywear skort had velcro tabs on the side, so you pull the waistband in as far as you need to. I have mine cranked all the way in, and now it “fits”.
The Title Nine skorts all look way more fashionable than the ones my mother tried to get me to wear in the ’80s. So, if you have hips, the Everywear skort is where it’s at. And, hooray for the liberal Title Nine return policy, when things don’t quite fit like we thought they would!

I work with a lot of men in my line of work. Sometimes I do break out the skorts, and one day I was leaning across the desk to get something. I guess my collegue thought I had a skirt on and was straining to see. Nope, to his disappointment I had on one of your rugged skorts. I was told later by someone I supervise.

I, too, am a convert. After seeing a co-worker in her mid-40’s wearing the old type of skorts (shorts in the back) all summer long, I doubted I would ever look at one. They were too short and just too “young” looking for her. Recently, I started doing craft shows outdoors to sell my jewelry. At some of the summer shows, I wanted to be dressed nicer than shorts, but didn’t want to do a dress or regular skirt b/c of all of the bending, lifting and carrying during setup and break down. Along comes the Horny Toad skort! I LOVE this thing! I wear it to most of my outdoor shows b/c it is so comfy, airy and stylish. My only “problem” is that I forget others don’t know I have shorts under there and will sit with my legs propped up or bend waaaaaay over. It’s also great for walking the dogs and doing errands. I’ll be checking the catalogs for more…….

I own three pair of the “No Brainer” skorts and obviously love them. I walked part of the Le Puy Camino de Santiago in France last year and took along one pair. The no brainer scort doesn’t wrinkle, you wash them out at night and they are dry the next day and you can layer tights under them in cooler weather. It was a perfect piece for hiking, dining, and dancing! Now, I can we make them in more exciting colors than tan and brown?
