Not sure if you will find a brown one, but you could buy a solid white one and then go to a fabric store and buy some brown colorfast dye. It really does work. Just make sure the dye can be used on synthetic materials and it is water safe.

You've got my full attention as to how things went with the action after that happened! :eek: Was Jane in the scene with you?!?

ACCLAIM Fitness Dubbo Brief Trunks Mens Tie Cord Retro 1970's Swimming Slim Fit

I actually own a pair of Acclaim swim briefs in a purple pattern, they are well made and comfortable, I even wore them in an indoor pool at Camping Vitamin, Dieppe France.

A Tarzan loincloth consists of 2 parts, a belt and a long cloth. Put on the belt then stand over the cloth, tuck the ends of the cloth through the belt at the front and the back and gently pull from both ends.
A common mistake is to use string, under pressure the string comes undone and oops!
Another mistake is to have the front and back of the loincloth supported from the belt with nothing in between, don't bend over or swish about violently.

I had a shock seeing Louis name here, he was a friend some time before Covid, he was old and unwell then following pneumonia. He lived in Montreal, Canada close to the Olympic Stadium and Pool. He was an avid speedo collector.

The Tarzan loincloth consists of a long foot wide strip of fabric and a waist belt.
Put it on as if it is a Japanese Fundoshi; fold the fabric over the waist belt leaving enough to form the rear apron, tie on the waist belt, with legs apart pick up the remainer of the fabric and pass it between the body and the front of the waist belt. You'll find yourself contained in a comfortable and secure pouch.
For stage use sneak elastic into the waist belt and sew it into a loop so the knott is cosmetic (the loincloth won't fall of even if the knott comes undone).
Fix the position of the fabric strip by sewing it into the waist belt.

Cheap costume shop Tarzan loincloths have the front and rear aprons sewn directly onto the waist belt without the body section in between making separate briefs esential. They are prone to costume malfunctions.

The fabric used in a Tarzan loincloth should be leather, a African native form of rawhide, sourcing it will be fun.

Years ago I made a Poncho & Loincloth from real Chamois leather, sold as a car washing cloth at a local store. Now Amazon has it too. I wore it as a Purim party costume, and the guys almost fell out of their chairs. It shrank when I washed it, so wash before sewing. I rode in the NY subway for Halloween, but no one noticed.
