Loincloth Plans

Post by Tiahaar » Mon Jan 05, 2004 12:04 am

Apologies to you who found this up in the "packing question" thread, it got some positive replies so here it is in the right place.

Super-easy-comfy loincloth outfit directions:

1) Buy a huge XXXL seamless-side heavy cotton t-shirt in your favorite color
2) Cut the bottom hem off
3) Cut a loop 10-12" wide off the bottom of the shirt then cut across the loop in one spot so you have one long 10-12" wide strip of fabric
4) Tie a heavy string/piece of soft rope/etc. (I prefer flat nylon 1/2" webbing) loosely around your waist
5) Drape the fabric over the rope in front, through your legs and over the rope in back; adjust so it hangs the same length front and rear.

Wa-la, a great and comfy loincloth, and the leftover shirt top makes a great matching cool weather accessory.

Cool, Unjon, thanks for trying it out, they're great warm weather outfits. Perhaps they're more correctly called breechclouts like some of the plains tribes used to wear but loincloth reminds me when I was a kid calling them lioncloths heheh. I'll have to check out your kinetic race, sounds like awesome fun!

I AM OF OLD THOUGHT,WHAT SAY A CODPIECE.EVEN LADIES COULD CREATE THEM,AS THEY ARE SPECIFIC TO COVERING ONLY THE GENITAL AREA.THEIR INTENTION TO MYSTIFY WHAT WAS BEING COVERED,& CREATE CONVERSATION ABOUT SUCH ARTWORK BEING DISPLAYED IN SUCH A PUBLIC FORUM.SHOULD CAUSE A WHOLE NEW APPEAL IN PLAYA WEAR! :mrgreen:

AN EXAMPLE:A RATHER BULBISH ONE WAS COVERING A PIRATES PRIVATES,AS A LADY APPROACHED HE WAS HEARD TO EXCLAIM"GOOD DAY M'LADY CARE TO SEE ME LITTLE BUCANEER?". SHE (LOOKING AROUND)SAID"LITTLE BUCANEER"? REACHING FOR HIS JOINT HE CAREFULLY FLIPED OPEN THE CODPIECE TO REVEAL A TINY 2IN. PIRATE WITH A PATCH OVER ONE EYE & A SWORD IN HAND. HONEST IT'S TRUE.

sarongs.... can be worn so many different ways, covering lots, or little of your body.

I like it!!

But then again, I like the way canines great each other: a nose in each crotch.
