Ikhtisar
Gloves or "holsters" denotes the low outfits worn by Indonesian men (and other Southeast Asians). It consists of a length of fabric about one yard (0.91 m) wide and two and a half meters (2.3 m) in length. In the center of this piece, across a narrower width, a color panel or a contrasting pattern about one foot wide is woven or immersed into a cloth, known as the head of the holster. These sheets are sewn on the narrower side to form a tube. One step into this tube, carrying the top edge above the level of the navel (the hem should be parallel to the ankle), the head position at the center of the back, and folds on the excess fabric from both sides to the front, where they overlap and secure the sheath by overthrowing hem top to bottom. Malay Men wears a woven sarong with a check pattern; women wear dyed sarongs in batik method, with, for example, florals, and brighter colors. However, in Javanese culture, the use of batik sarong is not limited to women on formal occasions such as weddings.
Gloves are common attire for women, in formal settings with blouse kebaya . Malay men wear sarongs in public only while attending Friday prayers at mosques, but sarongs remain the most common casual wear at home for men of all ethnicities and religions in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and most of the Indian subcontinent. (In South Asia, except for Sri Lanka, sarongs are usually known as mundu or lungi ).

Area variation
Arabian Peninsula
Sarongs known under various local names are traditionally worn by Yemenis and other places in the Arabian Peninsula. Local names for garments include f ?? ah , izaar , wiz? R and ma? Waz (pl ma ?? wiz ). In the Hadhramawt sarong called ?? r? N in the interior and ? R? M in coastal areas. In Oman, sarong is called wiz? R and is often white in color, similar to South Asian Keralan mundu and is usually worn under Thawb. In Saudi Arabia, sarongs are known as izaar. The designs can be plaid or striped with flowers or arabs, but double squares (ie, vertical sections of iz? R with different plaid patterns) design from Indonesia are also very popular. In southwestern Saudi Arabia, tribal groups have their own style of unbound izaar, which is woven locally. It is also used in northern Yemen. However, the tribal groups in Yemen each have their own designs for their f ?? ah , the latter of which may include fringes and edges. It is estimated that this futah tribe resembles the original izaar worn on the Arabian Peninsula since pre-Islamic times such as Shendyt. They are generally worn open and not tied in such a way that the clothes do not reach above one's ankles. Other Izu, often imported from Bangladesh, are the traditional clothing of Arabian fishermen in the Persian Gulf, Indian Ocean and Red Sea. This is a traditional dress for men before the introduction of pajamas and kaftans like trousers during the Turkish and European colonial periods. Tube-stitched and open gloves are both worn, even in countries wearing formal dishdasha, as casual sleepwear and at home.
India
Sarongs, very similar to Southeast Asia and completely different from South Asia are widespread - in the state of Manipur, where they are called Phanek and Mechela in Assam which is very similar to traditional clothes of other Southeast Asian countries. In the South Indian state of Kerala, where they are called mundu (if wholly white or completely black) and lungi or kaili if colored, and Tamil Nadu, where they are called kaili or saaram or vetti or lungi and are usually worn at home. Standard size lungi 2.12 x 1.2 meters.
Unlike the brightly colored Southeast Asian sarongs, the Kerala (mundu) variety is more often plain white and is used for ceremonial or religious purposes. In Kerala, the brightly colored sarong is called kaily and the white one is called mundu. The more formal and all-white Dhoti is used for formal and religious events. Although there are dresses based on mundu that can be worn by women, they more often wear saris.
Somalia
Sarongs are everywhere in Somalia and Muslim regions of the Horn of Africa. Although nomadic and urban Somali men have been wearing it for centuries in the form of plain white skirts, the colorful sarongs of macawiis (ma'awiis), which are the most popular forms of garments in the region, are the coming relatively new to Somalia from trading with the islands of Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Before the 1940s, most macaways were made of cotton. However, since industrialized markets for sarongs, they now come in many fabrics and combinations, including polyester, nylon and silk.
The designs are very varied and range from square plaid motifs with marked diamonds and boxes for simple geometric lines. One constant is that they tend to be colorful enough; black tiger is rare. Gloves in Somalia are worn at the waist and folded several times to secure their position. They are usually sold pre-stitched as one of the long circular stretch fabrics, although some vendors offer to sew it as a value-added service.
Sri Lanka
Sarongs are very common in Sri Lanka and are only worn by men. (The same outfit worn by women, however, women's clothing is called "redda", which is a covering skirt.) This is a standard outfit for most rural men and even some urban communities. However, most upper social class men (who wear public trousers) wear sarongs only as a comfortable evening outfit or just within the confines of the house.
Statistically, the number of people wearing sarongs as their main common clothing is declining in Sri Lanka; the reason is that sarongs carry stigma into clothing for a less educated social class. However, there is a tendency to adopt sarongs as fashionable clothing or as formal wear worn with national pride, only on special occasions. Sri Lankan political and social leaders who wanted to portray their humility and affinity with "commoners" and their nationalism, chose variations of sarongs dubbed "national" as their common attire.
Western World
In North and South America as well as Europe, wrapped hips are worn as beach clothing or as cover over swimsuits. Wraps are often made of thin, light, often rayon fabrics, and may feature decorative fringing on both sides. They may have a bond, which is a long thin piece of cloth that the wearer can tie together to prevent the wrapping from falling. These wrappers are mostly worn by women as beach coverings and usually do not resemble traditional Asian or African sarongs in size, pattern or design. Western men wearing male sarongs are influenced by Scottish skirts or lavas in Polynesian or Samoan culture. Usually sarongs are worn by men when they are at home or on the beach or as a cover on a naked beach or by the pool or on a cruise ship.
Secure
Many binding methods exist to hold the sheath to the wearer's body. In some cases, these techniques are usually different according to the user's gender. If the sheath has a bond, they can be used to hold it. Rope ties give the wearer a bit of excess and safety. If there is no bond, the pin can be used, the fabric can slip by itself under the lining, the corners of the main sheet may be around the body and fastened, or a belt can be used to hold the sarong in place.

Dorothy Lamour is by far the most associated actress with garments, designed by Edith Head. Lamour starred in several films of this genre, beginning with The Hurricane in 1937. In fact, Lamour was dubbed "The Sarong Girl" by the press and even wearing sarongs on traditional films. Among other actresses for wearing sarongs for film roles are Maria Montez, Gilda Gray, Myrna Loy, Gene Tierney, Frances Farmer and Movita.
