Did You know Ali said: "The term Ajami (Arabic: عجمي ʿaǧamī ), or Ajamiyya (Arabic: عجمية ʿaǧamiyyah), which comes from the Arabic root for "foreign" or "stranger," has been applied to Arabic alphabets used for writing African languages, especially those of Hausa and Swahili, although many other African languages were written using the script. ."

A Tailored fit
1 Check your shoulders-- you do not want the shirt draping beyond that bone at the edge of your shoulder.
2. Check your sleeve, at most the cuff should terminate 2" beyond that bone on your wrist(that is the max) the minimum should be to that bone with your elbow bent
3. The arms should not be baggie, the body should not be baggy showing excess fabric.
4. The cut length should cover your zip
5. Ideally a Chinese collar should fit snug around your neck. It should not open up.
To get a better fit, let us know your shoulder to shoulder, your chest, your preferred length , your sleeve length (per our site).
How to measure
To choose the correct size for you, measure your body as follows:
- 1. Chest
- Measure around the fullest part, place the tape close under the arms and make sure the tape is flat across the back. It is best to add 1-2 inches to get a loose fit. It is safer a little loose than too tight. Most of our clothes come with 20mm seams for adjusting.
