loincloths
Minimal waist coverings
Loincloths are minimal garments covering the groin and sometimes the buttocks, worn wrapped or tied around the hips.
Among the oldest forms of clothing, loincloths appear across cultures from ancient Egypt to indigenous peoples of the Americas.
The loincloth remains associated with primitive or tribal dress: Tarzan's iconic loincloth.
