Lily's Nest Size Guide for Men
HOW TO MEASURE
Please use the following as a guide to help you decide which size to buy.
Note: Values given are body measurements. To help you choose the best size, we recommend that you compare the measurements below with your own.
1. NECK
Measure all the way around the neck with the tape resting just above the nape (bone at the top of the spine), and under the Adam's apple.
2. CHEST
Measure across the widest part of the chest, under the armpits, and around the back. Ensure that the tape is horizontal all the way around the body. (Do not allow it to dip at the back).
3. WAIST
Decide where you want your trousers to sit (on the hips, above the hips) and measure at this position. Ensure that the tape is horizontal to the ground.
4. INSIDE LEG
Measure from the top of the inside leg (crotch) to the bottom of the ankle bone. Make sure the trouser crotch is sitting comfortably against the body and is not sagging.
5. HIP
Measure around the fullest part of your bottom, about 20cm below your natural waist, at the top of your legs.
6. SLEEVE LENGTH
Place your hand at your waist (elbow bent at a 90-degree angle). Measure from the middle of the back of your neck and measure to your shoulder, down your arm to the elbow, and then on to the wrist.

The "Kipande" shirt draws inspiration from the rich history of Africa, specifically evoking the essence of the "kipande" identification tags worn by laborers during the colonial era. This sartorial homage pays tribute to resilience and strength while infusing the garment with symbolic significance.
Crafted from high-quality, breathable cotton, the "Kipande" shirt embraces comfort without compromising on style. The fabric serves as a canvas for intricate patterns and motifs inspired by traditional African art, carefully woven into the shirt's design. The short sleeves add a touch of casual sophistication, making it ideal for both laid-back occasions and more formal settings.
Care Instructions for African Print (Ankara) Products
- Hand Wash Preferred:
- Hand wash your African print products in cold or lukewarm water using a mild detergent. This helps preserve the colours and prevent fading.
- Avoid Bleach:
- Do not use bleach or harsh detergents as they can weaken the fabric and lead to colour loss. Opt for mild, colour-safe detergents.
- Turn Inside Out:
- To protect the vibrant colours and prints, turn your African print garments inside out before washing. This helps minimize direct exposure to detergent and agitation.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight:
- When drying your items outdoors, avoid direct sunlight as prolonged exposure can lead to colour fading. Dry them in the shade or indoors.
- Iron with Caution:
- Iron your African print garments inside out on a low to medium heat setting. Avoid high heat to prevent damage to the vibrant prints and colours.
