My wife has made me three loincloths, one in linen and one each in green- and blue- silk. They're basically one strip of cloth, with arcs cut out of each side so that it narrows where it will pass between the legs. They have a ribbon of the same material attached at the rear. This runs round the waist to tie at the front. There is enough material above it at front and rear to fold down over the ribbon. They are pretty skimpy :oops: but they do hold me in quite nicely; I've worn them during combat and never had the kind of discomfort I got from y-fronts as a boy.
