CARE
It is always best to hand-wash expensive garments or machine wash them alone as not to damage the fabric or the accents. Machine Wash Cold Gentle, Do Not Bleach, Iron Low Heat, Do Not Dry Clean, Do Not Tumble Dry
SIZES
Please check with our size chart before ordering. As we cannot refund due to size error. Each display items comes with as much information so you can gauge which size is best for you. Most African clothing is worn loose. So a person who is large may choose an extra large for a more flowing fit.

Elegant top Review by Patricia
This one is definitely one of the elegant ones. I got it to give as a gift. The reason I love it is because it is ideal for evening formal wear instead of a suit especially in the tropics. Cool but elegant. (Posted on 9/28/2015)

My first African purchase Review by Taylor
I am a 40 year old White guy and never been to Africa and have no connection to anything African out here in Ohio. But I was googling something unrelated and came across a site called African Holocaust and saw this site. It look so good I had to order one. And it looks amazing. (Posted on 9/28/2015)

Ocacia Complete Size Guide
Ocacia does tailor made clothes based on body sizes. This is the most pretigious way luxury clothes are made. For your easy of use we have a size chart. Select your closest size and then you can email in your measurments. If your size is not listed, no problem contact us with your measurements. XXL and above may have an addition cost due to weight and fabric required. We cannot accept returns due to size errors.
WE ONLY ACCEPT TAILOR MEASURMENTS so send us neck, length if needed, shoulder to shoulder, waist, hip and sleeve length. We cannot accept made-up measurments like from my nose to my upper collar bone is 25 inches. If your measurements are confusing we will at our disregard them and go with stock measutments.
Different commercial brands use their own sizing system. Our sizing system is for tailor made clothes used by professional tailors. We do not use Vanity sizing, when we say a 36 inch waist that is what we mean, to fit someone with a 36 inch waist.

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.
