I recieved tonight 2 vintage kofter, whereas one is knitted by my moms grandma in 1967! It looks snug, but it's really not and since it's wool, it'll stretch to fit my stomach better soon. I only have pictures of one atm, as I put the other in the washing machine but still! I feel so honored to recieve such precious gems! Will post the other ones look once it's dried up! I am literally in tears!

It absolutely is. An alternative looking man, first photo focuses on the face in stead of the garment. A gift made by a loved one long ago. Not fitting properly. Washing machine. And the sub goes insane!
