{"id":130,"count":79,"description":"The sarong is the simplest summer garment in the world: one large rectangle of cloth, knotted at the waist, and nothing else. Men have worn it for centuries in Java, Bali and across the Pacific, and it is coming back to European beaches for an obvious reason \u2014 it is more comfortable than shorts, it dries in ten minutes, and it folds into a pocket.\r\n\r\nOur men's sarongs are batiks hand-painted in Java, using a craft technique passed down through generations. No digital printing: the wax is applied with a canting, dye after dye, which gives every piece variations no machine can reproduce. No two are alike.\r\n\r\n<strong>Patterns chosen for men<\/strong>\r\n\r\nDragons, geckos, Maori turtles, tribal masks, beetles, totems, primitive graphics and geometric compositions: we selected the boldest motifs in our collection, in deep dominant tones \u2014 black, indigo, earth, khaki, ochre. Nothing floral, nothing pastel.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to wear it<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAt the waist, the simple knot is enough: the cloth passes behind the back, the two corners cross in front and tie once. To keep it in place without thinking about it, our Coco Buckle replaces the knot and removes the risk of everything coming undone as you leave the water. Some wear it long, to the ankle, Indonesian style; others fold it to mid-thigh, like beach shorts.\r\n\r\nBeyond the beach it makes an excellent indoor garment in summer, a sauna wrap, and a travel companion that doubles as a towel, a light sheet or an improvised curtain.\r\n\r\n<strong>The fabric<\/strong>\r\n\r\nPremium viscose, woven denser than the usual tourist pareo. The drape is fluid, the cloth stays soft wash after wash, and the colours hold. Generous dimensions, suited to every build.\r\n\r\nFive ways to tie it, explained step by step, in our guide: <a href=\"https:\/\/thebatikstore.com\/en\/how-to-tie-a-mens-sarong\/\">how to tie a men\u2019s sarong<\/a>.\r\n\r\nSee also <a href=\"https:\/\/thebatikstore.com\/en\/Category\/pareo-worn\/\">our pareos<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/thebatikstore.com\/en\/Category\/our-sarongs\/\">our signature sarongs with a pocket<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/thebatikstore.com\/en\/Category\/wall-hanging\/\">our wall hangings<\/a>.","link":"https:\/\/thebatikstore.com\/en\/Category\/mens-sarong\/","name":"Mens Sarong","slug":"mens-sarong","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":0,"meta":{"_seopress_titles_desc":"Sarongs for men in hand-painted Javanese batik.
