The Original Down Skirt for Cold-Weather Comfort
The Minne-Skirt isn’t just a skirt — it’s your secret weapon for staying warm and stylish through frigid “Minnesotan” winters (or anywhere temps drop!). Designed like a cozy puffer jacket for your lower half, this fully reversible, down-insulated skirt keeps you toasty whether you’re running errands, commuting, or cheering on your favorite winter sports team.
Key Benefits of the Minne-Skirt
100% Reversible Design: Two looks in one! Switch between a patterned side with a reflective zipper for night visibility or the solid black, classic color for everyday wear.
750 Fill Down Insulation: Stay exceptionally warm with premium down fill — lightweight yet powerful insulation that keeps your core temp up on the coldest days.
Adjustable Fit with Elastic Waist: Wear it high or low on your hips with a flexible fit that flatters every body type. There are adjustable snaps at the waist along with the elastic waist band.
Dual Zippers on Both Sides: Zippers on both sides open from top or bottom, giving you ultimate control for easy on/off, ventilation, or movement when you’re active.
Removable Pouch Pocket: Clip it on when you need secure storage or remove it for a streamlined look.
Thoughtful Reflective Details: Be seen during low-light runs, walks, or commutes with reflective materials on the pattern side.
Functional D-Ring: Conveniently clip mittens, keys, or other essentials so they’re always close at hand.

We wear this all winter long and even in the spring and fall when it’s chilly and we just “don’t want to be cold”. If it’s on the warmer side, we open up the zippers on the side. If it’s colder, we keep the zippers down. It does a great job of keeping the frost off your buns at any temperature. Was featured in Outside Magazine as a Go-To winter fashion!
Durable fabric. Machine washable. COLORS: Black with red buffalo plaid or grey dot-camo on the reverse side.

I saw this skirt when I was in Ely Minnesota. I instantly fell in love with it and it happened to be my size. I have to be honest, I did not purchase it at that time because I couldn't justify spending that much on a skirt. I figured since I live four hours away the skirt would be "out of sight of mind" but I was wrong. I talked about it for days and looked online to try to find something that was less expensive. Well, I found several skirts none of them had all of the features that this one does. I told my husband that we might have to make a road trip to go back to Ely for the skirt because I had no idea what brand this skirt was. My husband said, okay.Let me know when you want to go. However, a couple of days later, a package arrived in the mail. My husband had called the store and had them ship the skirt to me. I never realized my husband had such fashion sense but he said it was made with excellent materials and craftsmanship and that he knew I would look great in it. I must admit he was right about everything! I wore it with a pair of leggings and got so many compliments on it the first time I wore it. The skirt is cozy warm. Now that I know the brand and have found them online I will definitely buy their products again. It is nice to know I am helping support a Minnesota business.

I purchased the down mini skirt in black a couple years ago and I LOVE it! I get tons of compliments on it and it keeps me very warm up here during the cold Duluth, MN winters.
I've also purchased (and recommended) the wool socks they carry for myself (x2), my husband (x4), my son (x1), our friend (x1), my mother (x2) and my aunt (x1). That's A LOT of socks! My husband actually told me to get rid of his other wool socks and only buy him these from now on. Yes, they are that awesome!

I loved my long skirt so much I decided to get this one too. I might love this one even more. I spent the day watching skijoring in it and it was a wardrobe necessity.

I gifted this to myself after stalking this skirt for a few winters. I only wish I hadn’t waited so long to treat myself. Excellent quality. Stunning design. Love the reversibility and the zipper design for that is so cool! One detail not highlighted that I think is so worth mentioning is the reflective tape detailing on one side. Great for night walks and night running with the reflective side out. It’s longer than I was thinking too, don’t let the “Minnie” in the moniker scare you. There’s plenty of warm coverage ❤️❤️❤️.
