REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: Two panels of cloth sewn together; intended to be made into a sarong by sewing the ends closed to make a tube. Commercial cotton thread. This plaid style of everyday sarong, usually worn by men, is pan-Indonesian and generally associated with coastal Islamic populations; not an indigenous Balinese style. This style, while still seen in Bali, would be considered conservative or out of fashion, compared to the weft ikat sarongs that became popular wear beginning in the 1970s.
