…The two ends of a piece of cloth measuring 2–4 m in length and 1 m in width are sewn together to form a tube, and the wearer puts the body inside, then pleats or folds the remaining cloth and tucks it around the waist. The same kind of cloth is called longyi in Myanmar and phâ sîn in Thailand, but the materials, patterns, and wearing methods vary by country and ethnic group, and each has its own characteristics. In addition, there are cloths that are not sewn together but are simply wrapped around the body, such as the kain panjang of Java and the paléo of Tahiti. …
