AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM VISION WORKS SDN BHD: Sumo attire

Due to some misunderstanding we would like to clarify a point which has come up about the proper attire for sumo wrestling. We posted pictures showing some of the wrestlers wearing t-shirts over their mawashi (cawat). The pictures did come with a caption stating that the wrestlers were rehearsing prior to a take (a recording). However we have received comments that in proper sumo bouts no wrestler would be wearing t-shirts.

We are fully aware of this but realise that there may be people out there who are not - therefore we would like to stress that at no point in our shoot was there a recording of sumo wrestlers wearing anything but the required mawashi over tight shorts allowed in amateur wrestling bouts. Thank you.
