cessna,

Sounds like this gentleman was wearing a kilt. Don't know how you feel about contemporary or non-traditional types, but the Buzz Kidder canvas kilts are 10 oz. army duck, and made in the traditional style. Pretty rugged stuff for hiking, and machine washable. Also Utilikilt Workman's are very rugged (12 oz cotton duck) and washable. Just a few suggestions for sticking with a kilt while hiking.
