Ancient Mayan clothing was very different than the clothing we wear today. It was never close fitting and was tied together using cloth knots. Mayan clothing was usually made using cotton or hemp and died using natural dyes. Both men and women wore headdresses with the mans headdress generally being more complicated. The poor wore undecorated loincloths while the rich wore garments such as the pati and breech-clout. Women would wear a skirt and a sleeveless, poncho-like tunic known today as the huipil or a dress
