SARONG

A sarong is a traditional Polynesian skirt-like garment of the Malay archipelago, Java, and some Pacific islands, consisting of a long strip of often striped cloth, about four or more meters long and sewn together at the ends to form a tube, worn tucked into a sash round the waist. Sarongs are won by both men and women.
