Warrior's Outfit

Until recent years the warrior went into battle clad in a padded sleeveless coat. Over this were wound several yards of closely woven cloth, while at the waist was tied a decorative kilt or apron. A cloth belt held the fighting knife at the left side where it could be quickly grasped with the right hand. BUKIDNON. North Central Mindanao, Philippine Islands. Robert F. Cummings Expedition. F.C.
