Macabi Skirt

I know that I said I would review mine since people were interested. I got two. an XL black one and a XXL grey one. Both are the long length (anyone surprised?).
I absolutely, 100% love, love, love my black one. It fits exactly the way that I want a skirt to fit. It doesn't really seem to show stains etc all that much (while they tend to be more noticeable on the grey).
I have worn the skirt to Camp Twin Echo twice and really wish I had worn it a 3rd time :( Ah well... I'm pretty sure that deer blood would wash out of it *grins* Part of the time at CTE was when I helped take the old Ranger house down to studs (still not there... working on it). It was fine to work in, it got a little dusty but brushed off fairly easily. I attempted to gouge a hole in it using the metal stripping that was on the walls keeping the paneling in place. I failed at this attempt which made me pretty happy *grins*. I wear a pair of stretchy capris under them mostly so my thighs don't rub together (this is a weight problem, not a skirt problem). I have a velvety skirt that I wear for a slip to make things a little toastier. These do let the breeze pass right through them :( Which is a downside (sort of) in winter, but will be very useful in the summer.
The pockets are HUGE. I can fit a 20 oz bottle of water in them and you really can't tell that it's there. *boggles*. There is a mini pocket in the pocket on the left for a cell phone. This is vastly useful for keeping track of the cell phone. The right pocket has a zippered pocket inside of it for valuables. I really don't use the turn them into pants option. The snaps to get it up out of the water are nice. I haven't really over used them, mostly because it's winter.
I wore the skirt to the Boys All-star Soccer game at Moon's Football Stadium the other week when it was a balmy 32 degrees. I had on thermals, sweats and the velvet skirt underneath it and I was reasonable warm (I still had a blanket etc for the bleachers, but it wasn't bad at all) Last night I washed the black one in glycerin soap and water in the bath tub. It looked pretty awesome this morning and it was mostly dry after 6 hours of poorly hanging (I didn't spread it out).
I'm thinking about getting some more. I'm just debating color and size. I wish that someone carried them somewhere so I could try them on before I bought them (lke, would a large be too small or just right?)
