Hey folks,
Looking for a pattern (written will work, if no good pictures are available) for gladiatorial loincloths... If that's the appropriate term for what they wear. What would you call them? I'm talking about the rather close-fitting ones that have a triangular piece draping down the front. I'm guessing that these were some kind of folded piece, and didn't overlap due to sewing, but rather to a process of folding the whole thing around the abdomen?
I've got two images that show the back, and they seem to be pretty close-fitting there. The guys in the Italian group wear them, but I have no idea how they're constructed from any images that they show.

Any information is appreciated. Thanks!
