Is that a house rule or are you getting it from a published book? If so which? AFAIK, Fortify just adds to the DR of a garment, but does not give any "force field DR" over areas not covered by the garment.

I just don't understand the game mechanics you are suggesting. The DF rules I have seen seem to have plenty of options for encouraging scantily-clad characters of all genders (although the lack of places to store potions and charms and loot will soon become a problem ... enchanted load-bearing equipment over bare skin?)
