Handwoven Ethiopian Men's Shirt: Habesha Wedding Outfit

Ethiopian men's traditional shirts do not get enough credit. There is a quiet elegance to the habesha men's shirt — the clean white fabric, the tibeb embroidery along the collar and cuffs, the way it pairs with traditional pants for a full cultural look or with modern trousers for something more relaxed. We give our men's shirts the same attention as our kemis. Our head tailor has been doing this for more than 20 years, and the tibeb stitching is done hand thread by thread — the same standard for everything that leaves our workshop. Two to three artisans work on each piece. The collar embroidery is the signature detail: it must sit cleanly and symmetrically, and we do not let a shirt leave until it does. This is a custom-made shirt cut to your measurements, not a generic size — check our size guide before ordering so we get the shoulders and chest right. Made in Ethiopia, shipped to the US, Canada, and Europe. Our care instructions apply to shirts too — handwoven fabric is worth the extra care.
