A funny story, one day, I was shopping at the thrift market with my friends. We walked through the narrow passages between the stalls to find good stuff. When it was about time to go back home, I wanted to poop so bad. I couldn't stand it. I took heavy breaths to hold my shit until I could get to my home. When I got back to my place, I didn't go straight to the toilet. I changed my longyi first because longyi is just more comfortable when you have to crouch for a bit. For pooping longyi is the way to go! Nowadays as before longyi can be found everywhere in Myanmar. We have so many kinds and patterns of longyi depending on the regions. My favourite are from Kachin state and Chin State. The ones from Longyi Brothers have nice patterns. They made them to be more modern and their thicker ones are more comfortable for colder places. Some can be flipped inside out so you get a new look. They got thick and light versions. I prefer light longyi to the thick ones because I'm from hot and dry place, the South East Asian country of Myanmar. Tin Ko Lwin is a knowledigable licenced guide in Myanmar and foodie.

This is a space for longyi aficionados and newbies (both men and women) to share stories, pictures, videos, ideas and ask questions. We have customers and friends from all over the world who are using their longyi for activities such as motorcycle journeys, bodysurfing, trekking, martial arts and lying in hammocks. They are finding new uses for the garment and we want to know about them. Tell us about your activities, ideas and yourself and we'll post your stories to share with the brotherhood!

What I love most about longyi is that they are hugely practical and hence have become my no. 1 most useful item There are so many ways to use it but the one that I appreciate the most is to utilize it as an instant changing room at the beach or in any other public place. It will cover your best parts while you still have both hands free to change quickly. My wish for the future, a quick-dry micro-fiber longyi for travelling :)  Danny Lee is a fashion and commercial model from Wiesbaden, Germany. He has worked and traveled extensively in Asia.

Story by Tyler Rosso  I recently went on a nice motorcycle trip with my newly bought longyi (pronounced Lun-jee). I found out real fast how important this longyi was for me! It was freezing at one point while sleeping, so I used it in between my sleeping bag and covered my head with it. It made a nice cocoon for me and kept me warm all night. I use it as a changing room after a nice dip in the hot springs or as a towel to dry off. I used it as a scarf and as a blanket near the fire, as pictured here.  I found out real fast how important this longyi was for me! The uses for a longyi are endless and I’m super happy I have one. I strongly advise everyone to look into it and pick out one with the pattern you like! They make as great gifts and you would be helping a small business! Order one now! Great job Philippe Koo !!! Can't live without my longyi!! Tyler Rosso is a photographer and an owner of Little New York Pizzeria in Taipei, Taiwan.
