    utilikilt t-shirt

    Went to the Bellingham Farmers Market today with my wife, daughter, son, two granddaughters, and daughters friend. I wore my SWK Leatherneck, got several compliments on the kilt. I did see a fellow wearing a Utilikilt t-shirt, but he was wearing p%^ts. I walked up to him and asked him where his kilt was, his reply was that he could not afford one. It was a good day all around. I was asked by one of the vendors if I could tell him the name of a skirt-like garment worn by the native population in Guatemala, he had a photo of a group of men wearing what resembled a sarong. Any ideas?

    It's called a "rodillera" and is usually made out of wool. It is only worn in a certain area of Guatamala.

    It's a Local thing. Look under Guatamalan Native Dress.

    The closest that I could find to what you describe would be the sapeta worn by Native Americans in Mexico there are other forms and names, this version come to mind because my neighbor here in West Texas wears one on occasion.
