malong


filipinos (people of the philippines) usually wear this kind of clothing for warmth, fashion, or traditional celebrations.

the malong is a traditional “tube skirt” or “tube dress” made of handwoven or machine-made multi-colored cotton cloth, bearing a variety of geometric or okir designs. the malong is akin to the sarong worn by peoples in malaysia, brunei and indonesia. the malong is traditionally used as a garment by numerous tribes in the southern philippines and the sulu archipelago.

the malong can function as a skirt for both men and women, a dress, a blanket, a sunshade, a bedsheet, a “dressing room”, a hammock, a prayer mat, and other purposes. a newborn is wrapped in a malong, and as he grows this piece of cloth becomes a part of his daily life. when he dies, he is once again wrapped in a malong. among traditional tribal peoples, the malong is used in everyday life. even in areas where people wear western-style clothing during the day, the malong is commonly used as sleepwear.
