HISTORICALLY DRAPED GARMENTS: THE DHOTI
The dhoti is a traditionally draped garment worn mostly by Indian men, "It is a rectangular piece of unstitched cloth, usually around 7 yards long, wrapped around the waist and the legs, and knotted at the waist."

The accompanying piece varies in different parts of India. Most of these pieces are also non stitched and draped except when worn with western style oxford shirts.
