Kazuchika Okada Shut Up Bitches T-Shirt . The jovial 64-year-old designer recalls when he was contacted by Winnie Mandela soon after the apartheid government released her husband from prison in 1990. Having spent 27 years in jail, the hero of the fight against white-minority rule and South Africa’s soon-to-be president needed new clothes. Ndamase met Mandela in his home in Johannesburg’s Soweto.”He started to tell me that he wanted something that could look conservative enough for him to go and address the captains of industry and… then also to address the masses without having to change,” he said. Mandela wanted a style that would make him stand out among other statesmen and did not require a tie.The self-taught designer came up with the loose-fitting, casual-but-smart silk shirts with bold patterns that are associated with Mandela even after his death in 2013 at the age of 95. The shirts often feature oriental-style patterns. Some boast deep colours such as burgundy, dark grey, and royal blue, with playful designs; others are of cooler, tan hues, depicting elements from nature like leaves or twigs. All are recognisable as the signature Mandela look. It is a style that Ndamase, who suffered a mild stroke in March 2024, is passing on to a new generation of garment-makers.

This shirt is very comfortable, light, and moisture wicking as advertised. It also fits as expected — sometimes. I bought five of these in all different colors. They all arrived in the same box but individually sealed in plastic. The ones that fit as expected were labeled medium and are made in Jordan. The plastic they were wrapped in had the under armour logo on it. The ones that didn’t look to have been resealed in unmarked plastic and while they too are labeled medium they say they are made in Mexico. The shirts labeled as from Mexico are a good 1-2 inches shorter in length and seem to be more fitted in cut than the Jordan shirts, which have a nice loose cut without being sloppy. The seller should really advertise this difference on each shirt color as it applies since there seems to be two very different fits with no distinction in the name. Would have given a five star review if not for this issue and will not purchase again until fit is less of a crapshoot.
