Macawiis not Somali?

[pirater]

I heard from someone that Macawiis was worn by coastal people and not geeljires. Did geeljires even wear it? why is it popular now? so we abandoned our awesome (I don't know the name for it) cloths for something our ancestors didn't wear?

 

[Aurelian]

Abandoned? It's called moving on and choosing the more comfortable

we abandoned it. don't sugarcoat it.

What does it matter. Wear that raggedy cloth if you want to. I'm chilling in my macaawis

Indonesian & Indian traders most likely brought it to East Africa/Somalia along with Chapati, Roti, & Chai.

you know nothing about your own culture f disgrace, you really think your people only wore white
you're just like the whitez ignorant, do you really not think your people could've made their own color without anybody's help or they need others especially Arabs help.

I think only the interior nomadic Somalis wore white lamagoodle/'two clothed' clothes. The Somalis on the coast would've wore more of a colorful macawiis.

The patterns are not something from Asia. They still hand make clothing, and this is a traditional craft which was passed down generations.
