1850 D. Hazlewood Feejeean & Eng. Dict. 129/1 The difference between malo and sulu seems to be in the way in which it is worn: malo is sulu when put round the body and not between the legs.

1860 M. Reid Odd People 213 A coarser and scantier pareu is to be seen among the poorer people,..and not unfrequently this is only a mere strip wrapped around the loins; in other words, a ‘malo’, ‘maro’, or ‘maso’—as it is indifferently written in the varied orthography of the voyagers.

1898 D. Malo Hawaiian Antiquities (1951) 25 In the form of sheets [bark-cloth is] used as a blanket to cover one at night, or as a toga for dignity and comfort by day, or made into the malo, the garment of modesty of the men, or the pa-u, which was the garment of modesty of the women.

1969 R. T. Wilcox Dict. Costume (1970) 201 Malo, the Hawaiian man's girdle or loincloth. Originally of tapa cloth which was made from tree bark, but now of cotton dyed in brilliant colors.
