Ali Eid in honor of one of the greatest sportspeople in history, Muhammad Ali. This is a style continues on from our original Ali dashiki. This shirt was also made to commemorate the Muslims holiday of Eid Adhan 2016. Made exclusively out of Sheriba embroidery rope this design curves and swirls along the right side of the linen top. With both roots in Africa and Asia this top is the heights of technicality. (color in photo is stone cream)
As with the original, this Ali top echoes clean and technicality in one design.The embroidery work uses exclusively Sheriba in a circle pattern and is one of the most technical we have done-- yet it is very clean. The fabric is a medium weight premium linen fabric.
We are offering an optional collar with embroidery also on the collar (as seen in the photo), but it will come at an extra cost as putting the embroidery motif on the collar very challenging. Definitely a shirt for special events, like your wedding, graduation, when you win an award for bestselling book, or go on BBC talking about stuff.
One external pocket with detailed involved embroidery with optional Formal cuffs with sheriba and embroidery. You have never seen modern African clothes like this before.This is a special order item and may take longer to make than normal. Stocks are limited on the fabric seen in the photos. Further customization with different types of fabric is possible.
Did You know Ali said: "Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on Brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights?" "No I’m not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over. This is the day when such evils must come to an end." "I have been warned that to take such a stand would cost me millions of dollars. But I have said it once and I will say it again. The real enemy of my people is here." "I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality." "If I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn’t have to draft me, I’d join tomorrow." "I have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I’ll go to jail, so what? We’ve been in jail for 400 years."
