Caboose

The other week I decided I needed some more shirts, so that I could actually make it through a week without having to do washing. I wandered off down to the Area 7 Shopping Centre (just down the road), bought some fabric and found a tailor. So for ₦700 (£2.70) he sewed the fabric up into a very nice shirt.

He did such a good job that I asked him to make up some other fabric into a traditional Nigerian outfit, I went and collected it yesterday:

You can’t really see the embroidery in the picture, men really seem to go in for fancy fabrics and lots of ornamentation on their clothes here.

The outfit is all very loose and comfortable, in fact it feels more like pyjamas than something you’d wear to go out. Now I just need an occasion to wear it…
