About Us

Thanks for joining a little crusade that started in the mind of a 14-year-old girl who thought a lot of things she didn’t say out loud.

Like: Should I step onto the court warm and then wrestle my training pants off over two-inch soles? I hope there’s a bench and that no one’s watching.

Or in college: Sure, I’d love to grab lunch…right after I hover my sweaty self above my car seat like I’m auditioning for a core-strength video.

Then came Wisconsin in my 30s where “cold” and “brisk” no longer shared a category. Cold in Wisconsin feels like a dagger to your legs at 12 degrees, even on the less windy days. By the time I would reach the indoor courts, my skin was red and itchy. The stretch from car to court in a tennis skirt felt a lot longer than 60 feet. I loved Wisconsin but was starting to question my life choices!

So I started sketching. What if there was something that kept my legs warm and looked great walking into lunch? Something that let me skip the 2-inch-sole shuffle, stay warm car-to-court and still warm up my serve without a bulky coat?

I tested my first prototype on the tennis court—and it worked. Then I grabbed it for a windy day on the golf course, and it worked even better for cleated shoes and cart rides. Pretty soon friends were asking, “Can you make one for me?” and I realized this little idea had legs—literally.

That’s how The In & Out Skirt happened—part necessity, part rebellion.

Warmth, style, function, and just enough attitude for the women who move, sweat, and still want to look amazing doing it.

It’s been a true joy to see all the homes they’ve found their way to. Football stadiums. Soccer sidelines. Hockey rinks. Dog walks. School pickup. Travel days. Outdoor dinners. Running errands. Cold restaurants in warmer climates. A favorite that warmed my heart—“Horse training as an instructor in our chilly barn and feeling really great about my shape while staying comfortable.”

I made it because I wanted warm legs without dressing my entire body for an Arctic expedition. Turns out I wasn’t alone.

I made it for one reason.
You found about twenty more.

The In & Out Skirt isn’t really sportswear. It isn’t exactly outerwear, either. It’s warmth where you want it, when you want it—without the bulky coat, the changing-room gymnastics or unnecessary underarm sweat. Zip in. Zip out. Keep your shoes on. Keep your outfit. Go do whatever you were going to do anyway.

What does it become next? Apparently, you ladies are in charge of that part.
