Kif, show them the medal I won.

It just makes sense. That has to be 20-25% less material to replicate per uniform. There's coffee in those pants.

Neelix in a skant… do not want.

You know, my people used have a saying...

Life is breezy in the Dressa Quandrent

You need your full range of motion in the Delta quadrant.

Does this mean you also enjoyed ~~Orange River's~~ Junkball Media's skant video?

Every time I see the skant, two things come to mind:

• Lotta leg-shaving going on. That or leggings. I'm not opposed to either as an aesthetic choice, but it kind adds a layer to the impracticality.
• I think the absence of a belt is what keeps these from reading like a kilt or tunic. Either of which would be a fantastic nod to traditional affectation for earthling personnel (as other races do). Instead, the skant sits in this men's apparel uncanny-valley of sorts, where it's neither a dress, dress uniform, gown, or nightshirt.

Due to ~~my own fantasy subroutines~~ exposure to an alien disease of an, ahem, intimate nature, I prescribe short skirts or dresses at all times, for all crew members.

Saves fabric and therefore energy!
