Outer Robe (Awosoke):
Cut from a structured, medium-weight cotton blend, the awosoke on Obaloluwa maintains volume through precision. Its shoulders are deliberately broad, with sharply folded side layers and elbow-length sleeves that echo the regalia of Yoruba nobility. The robe flows cleanly to the mid-calf, offering visual gravitas while remaining mobile. It’s a design that combines stature and subtlety—built for long hours of standing, sitting, and ceremonial presence without fatigue.

Undervest (Awotele):
The awotele is tailored in the same navy cotton blend, offering a tonal base for the dramatic red embroidery. Its rounded neckline and minimal placket keep the focus centered on the intricate stitchwork, while its lean sleeves and clean finish ensure the piece layers smoothly beneath the awosoke. It’s structured yet breathable, anchoring the overall silhouette with disciplined restraint.

Trousers (Sokoto):
The sokoto is tapered and polished, with a slight taper at the ankle and a streamlined upper fit. Hidden drawstring ties and a discreet side closure allow for precise adjustment. Matching the navy palette, the trousers offer grounding under the richly layered upper half, giving the look clarity from head to toe.

Obaloluwa is crafted from a luxurious, midweight cotton blend known for its balance of structure and comfort. The fabric’s tightly woven construction gives it a fine, matte surface that resists glare and provides depth to the dark navy hue. Its weight ensures drape and discipline—ideal for formal occasions or moments when presence must speak before words.

The embroidery is applied using rayon thread in a deep scarlet tone. This thread was chosen for its strength, low-gloss finish, and ability to capture intricate detail without puckering the base fabric. The bold contrast allows the embroidery to emerge from the garment with visual strength, while the smooth surface allows it to lay flush against the fabric.
