Loin cloth
John Hargrave's own Native-American- style loin cloth. His diaries record him starting to make a 'Gee String' in 1924. ‘Gee-strings’ were seen as appropriate attire for fitness exercises, but were also worn by the more adventurous Kinsmen at the Althing camps, particularly the 1928 Althing..
