loincloth
Minimal waist garment
A loincloth is a simple garment covering the groin and sometimes buttocks, wrapped around the hips or suspended from a cord or belt.
It's among the oldest forms of clothing, worn in warm climates or by people with minimal material resources: The tribe wore traditional loincloths.
In modern contexts, loincloths appear in depictions of ancient peoples, jungle explorers, or figures like Tarzan.
