Has Boden lost the plot with a 'man skirt' or is it an April Fools?

Just saw this Marylebone Man Skirt on Boden's site. Surely it's a joke for 1st April. Please tell me it is [buhmm]

Yep it's a joke. You get a pop up saying so when you try to buy one!

johnworf · 01/04/2013 09:17

ahhhhh. Good one. [buwink]

They've emailed it to me. Must be on their 'sucker' list!

RedPencils · 01/04/2013 09:19

Ha ha that's a really good one.

Got me too, I was thinking WTAF! Completely forgot it was the 1 April today!

3MonthMaid · 01/04/2013 09:39

I got it too. They've done well.

PretzelTime · 01/04/2013 09:44

It looks nice! I hope they make it for real.

Pinkflipflop · 01/04/2013 09:58

I forgot what day it was, but as soon as I saw it I came straight here! Sooo glad it's a joke. I was afraid..............

PretzelTime · 01/04/2013 10:42

I sincerely thought the pink one looked good on the model.

johnworf · 01/04/2013 11:17

Maybe Boden are testing to water...see what feedback they get and start selling it? [buwink]

I saw it and came straight here! Great April fool, they had me! Now I wonder if DH would like one...

QueenCadbury · 01/04/2013 13:08

I've just had the email and also came straight on here!!

FrancesFarmer · 01/04/2013 16:35

Fair play to them - that was a good joke! And who knows, they might discover there is real demand out there for man skirts!

RedPencils · 01/04/2013 23:15

I didn't get the email. Envy. Johnnies clearly got me in the file marked 'tight arse who only buys in the last gasp of the sales'

SomethingOnce · 02/04/2013 21:16

It was so Boden-y as an idea that I moved past my instant 'April fool' assumption to thinking 'entirely likely, actually'.

Just a matter of time...

maninaskirt2 · 07/11/2013 13:13

There are quite a few skirt-wearing men who wished and write back to Boden confirming their interest in them selling man-skirts.

Usual "we'll look into it" replies but they never intended doing anything about it.

Glad to see that a few of you think they should "make it for real"
