Come to think of it, wouldn't togas and Mu Mu's represent Roman and
Hawaiin jeans in the sense that they were the garments worn by all the
hoi polloi ?

Coming late to the party, but I believe that muumuus were imposed on the
Hawaiians by the English missionaries (to cover bare breasts). They are
fairly recent, a sarong (sans top) being more traditional "jeans" to that
population.
