Men wear wide black or white trousers and predominantly black short-sleeved shirts, some in white, fastened with fabric buttons. The cotton scarf is dyed with indigo with star-like white dots in squares, rectangles, triangles, diamonds, tree shapes, leaf shapes, etc. In the past, both men and women only wore self-woven and indigo-dyed cotton fabric.
