Some garments are worn, and some are lived in. The Grey Italian Wool Kaftan belongs to the second category — a piece that doesn’t compete for attention yet remains unmistakably present. It embodies a quiet confidence that feels natural, refined, and deeply intentional.
This kaftan represents the evolution of native wear in Abuja: subtle, modern, and rooted in cultural nuance.
The deep graphite Italian wool blend is the first signal of the kaftan’s quality. Smooth to the touch and structured enough to hold its form, the fabric carries a gentle sheen that reveals itself only when light finds it. This is a look from the Koles Collection, a series designed for men who express elegance through simplicity and restraint. Nothing about it is loud. Everything about it is deliberate.
Italian wool is known for its quiet elegance. It drapes with intention and moves with restraint, making it ideal for men who value refinement over display.
The silhouette draws inspiration from northern tailoring traditions — clean lines, balanced proportions, and a disciplined approach to structure. Yet the execution feels modern. The band collar sits neatly without stiffness, and the overall fit creates a poised, vertical line that lengthens the frame.
It respects tradition while presenting it through a contemporary lens, the way the Abuja Man embraces culture without being bound by convention.
Running down the center is a slim column of geometric embroidery, executed in a soft silver-grey thread. The pattern is minimal yet intentional, adding depth without drawing unnecessary attention. It’s the kind of detail that reveals itself slowly — the more you look, the more you notice.
Paired with a subtle metal accent at the tip, the embroidery reads like a signature rather than decoration.
Grey is one of the most sophisticated tones in menswear. It carries calm authority, emotional balance, and a sense of grounded self-awareness.
On this kaftan, the graphite shade enhances the structure while reinforcing the garment’s quiet elegance.
It suits the man who leads with composure, not force; presence, not volume.
Designed with movement and intention, the kaftan maintains its shape through the day — from meetings to evening gatherings. The subtle slits, refined sleeves, and clean finishing make it effortless without losing formality.
It is native wear for the man who understands himself and chooses pieces that reflect that understanding.
