When Peter was out in the boat in his undergarments, he saw the Lord Jesus on the shore and put on his outer garment to jump in the water and swim to the Lord. Why would anyone put on clothing to swim? Because we don't want to be naked in public. Peter was considered naked even though he had his undergarments on. That was fine for a working fisherman out at sea with a bunch of other men, but on shore where there may be women, he covered up more.

It seems that Peter was considered naked when his legs were showing, at least above the knee.

just a thought.
