About the Kente Cloth

Description

Kente cloths are single,double threeple-warp woven in silk, rayon or cotton of multi colors ranging from green, yellow-gold, maroon, red, black, blue, red, white etc. A man’s size cloth is made by sewing twenty to twenty-five stripes together depending on his height. Each stripe is three and a half to four yards long, and about four inches wide. It usually measures eighty-five by one hundred and thirty-three inches (85” x 133”) and weighs about seven pounds folded. The cloth is worn wrapped around the body and draped Roman toga-like over the left shoulder. A female’s cloth customarily consists of three pieces measuring seventy-three by forty-three inches each, together with a blouse. One piece serves as a long wrap-around, one as a blouse to cover the upper part of the body, and third draped as a shoulder shawl or head wrapper.
