The Cho Ro have long lived in the low mountains of Southern Indochina. The traditional costume of the Cho Ro includes skirts for women and loincloths for men. In the past, both men and women went bare-chested, and only wore pullovers with strings when it was cold. Since around the 1950s, the traditional Cho Ro costume began to fade away. Most of the original traditional Cho Ro costumes are old and belong to the elderly.
