Loincloth/kilt (?) Pattern

[M. Demetrius]

That might work, Falco, but wouldn't give a "flap" in the back, the way some had. And it would be a big piece of cloth, with lots of extra. To get enough to start at the waist in the back and have the triangle reach all the way between the legs, and have a flap in the front that works out to around 20" long, the corners would have to wrap around the body more than once. Not saying that wouldn't work, just it's a lot farther from the back waist to the front waist and down below the crotch than I thought.

Likewise, that would give a front flap of two layers thick. I don't know if the originals looked like that or like the picture below. Can't say. I'm not quite that old

Here's the picture from my buds in California:
