In Djibouti.

In Djibouti.

It’s the Sultan Tadjourah (Afar) not Somali

The most I love about these is the head garments they elevate it to the next level

U just proved my point. Ibn Battuta was visiting the coastal cites were influence from outside trade was taking place rapidly. Anything authentic and Somali is found within the miyi community and not within magaal community. Simple logic

Someone linked this and it said it was from the 9th century. They used the term jacket so it could’ve been referring to this attire.

Somalis have been wearing this attire since the 9th century. This was recorded by the Chinese during that period.
