Gabi (clothing)

The Gabi (Amharic: ጋቢ) is a handmade cloth worn by Ethiopians mainly over the shoulders and upper body, and is made out of cotton.

[1] Characterized by its thickness, the Gabi is the traditional garment of men belonging to the Amhara ethnic group due to the high altitude nature of their homeland, most of the time it's worn by the elderly and clergy.

[2] Usually, Amhara women get together for spinning the yarn required to make several gabis.

Amhara women present gabis as a gift for their husbands.
