Not that many Chinese are anywhere near my weight. It's hard (read impossible) to find clothing that:

1) Fits
2) Is comfortable (as in not compressing anatomical parts that don't like being compressed)
3) Is comfortable (as in not hotter than a bonfire in a sauna (My part of China regularly gets to 33C with humidity in the high 90's))

Since I'm a guest here in China, and a teacher of children, it's not a good thing if things start spilling out. Well, my favorite pair of shorts (I live in them 10 months of the year) finally died. All the others I have fail condition 2 (see above). While I'm ok at using a sewing machine, I'm a little intimidated by dissecting my favorite short's remains to unlock their secrets (damn manufacturer put their logo on a scratchy tag that rubbed me in the wrong place). I'm thinking of honoring the wisdom of my Celtic ancestors and going with a kilt instead (No crotch to rip out (go figure)). I'll need large cargo pockets, and I'm a little concerned with the cost of some of the nicer outfits from Utilikilt

Does anyone else ride with a kilt? Suggestions? Recommendations? Pros? Cons?
