Wrestling outfit

This outfit consists of two pieces: an upper part to cover the shoulders, and a lower part for the groin. The clothes are made of colorful silk on both sides, reinforced with thick thread in many layers. Wrestling outfits are made by the wrestlers themselves, and should not be handed over to others without proper reason. When wrestling, they tie the outer sides of their boots so that they will not come off.
