Kidan Habesha

Kidan habesha (alt. ije tebab) is a clothing style from Eritrea, particularly among the Tigrinya ethnolinguistic group. It comprises a white shirt and pants. Then a thin, gauze-like, fabric is wrapped around the shoulders and chest. Sometimes, men take the extra material and wrap it around their waist making a skirt on top of their pants, then wrap it around their shoulders. For men it is a traditional dress, seldom seen except on ceremonial occasions (e.g., weddings, etc.).
