What are Sarongs?
A sarong is a Malay / Indonesian garment consisting of a long piece of fabric wrapped around the waist or chest.

In Indonesia sarongs are worn everyday by both men and women, although the garments are usually different: • Female sarongs are rectangles of cloth which can be tied around the waist or chest in a variety of styles. • Male sarongs are pre-formed into a tube or cylinder and simply folded round the waist.
