A breechcloth is a simple garment traditionally worn by various Indigenous peoples, particularly in North America. It consists of a piece of cloth or leather that is worn around the waist, hanging down in front and back. Breechcloths are often made from materials like animal hides or woven fabrics and are designed for comfort and mobility. Historically, breechcloths were practical for daily activities and were sometimes adorned with decorative elements. They are often associated with the clothing of Native American tribes, such as the Sioux and Navajo, and have cultural significance in their traditional attire.
