Also called breechclout. A strip of material a foot wide and about six feet long, passed between the legs and under the front and rear part of a belt. Some were made of buckskin; others of woven fabrics; and, in the extreme South, of Spanish moss. Women also wore them to form a sort of apron in front and behind. The breechcloth sometimes was decorated with beadwork and had fringed ends.
