Jingle, may be something to think about:
if it's a young man/boy, it might be he doesn't want a quilt or blanket on his lap.
My grandson, 14 yr., uses a electric wheelchair and loves his quilt, but would 'never ever have a quilt on his lap outdoors because he is not an old man' (his words) He'ld rather freeze!! :-)) , but does wear ski pants when it's very cold (under protest and only because he's in a lot of pain if he doesn't)
