Agbada Three Piece Set, Emerald Green and Gold, Men's

A three piece men's agbada in deep emerald green: the wide sleeved outer robe, a matching buba top and sokoto trousers, with gold embroidery at the chest and cuffs. It is cut to your own measurements, not to a size chart. Seventeen of them, including the length of the outer robe from shoulder to floor, the buba length and the sokoto length, so the robe falls where you want it to fall rather than wherever it happens to land. Choose a regular, loose or traditional fit, and allow about five days before it ships. The cloth is what Nigerian menswear calls Seven Star cashmere, a soft brushed suiting cloth with a subtle self pattern woven into it, catching the light across the drape of the robe without any shine. It is not goat wool cashmere. The gold embroidery runs down the chest panel of both the robe and the buba underneath, and repeats as a band at each cuff. This is ceremonial dress and it is meant to be seen. It is what you wear to your own wedding, to a traditional ceremony, to a chieftaincy or a milestone birthday, on the days when being underdressed is the only real risk. For everything short of that, the same maker's senator kaftan is the better buy. Made by KINGZIZ in Lagos. Press on a low iron on the reverse and hang it rather than fold it.
