What about having someone who sews make him some "macho' type male riding 
attire? :0) Suggestions: Maybe 'camo' type polar fleece for winter, or nylon 
type camo (like hunting fabrics )  for summer, they could add knee patches 
for grip.
 Suitability Patterns makes a "sweatpants" type riding pants  and vest 
pattern that could be made out of 'male type fabrics' .  Anything without a 
inner seam would work.    Laurie
