Information from: Krystyna Deuss, Indian Costumes from Guatemala, 1981, p.40; "The cut of all trousers woven on the hip-strap loom is very simple: apart from the occasional gusset, the sections of cloth are sewn together without any styling. The excess width at the waist is either gathered by a drawstring of folded and held in place by a sash." [CF 2/4/2003]
