"ZULU Men's clothing
The amaShoba are cow tails worn on the upper arms and below the knees to give the appearance of greater bulk to the body.

IsiNene is the front apron, consisting of coin sized circular skin patches sewn closely together to add weight and cover the male genitals.

iBeshu is the rear apron made from calf skin (from stillborn or dead calves). Those of young men involved in active pursuits are knee length whilst those of the older men are ankle length.

A headband is used only by married men.

The leopard is revered as the king of predators and only those of an elevated social position wear its skin. An induna may only wear a headband but the king may wear as much as he wishes.

The inJobo are long animal skins worn on the hips."
