I’ve been ordering shirts from Shukr. My goal is to eventually replace my entire wardrobe (won’t take as long as you might think) with these stylish Islamesque (patent pending) shirts.
I love the store, but there is one problem. Their size charts assume that everyone is a lanky beanpole. Maybe it’s a cultural thing, but men in my family have big chests and broad shoulders. I wear a size 44 in chest comfortably. 43 starts to get tight and 42 makes me feel like I have a kid’s shirt on.
According to Shukr, 44, which is an XL (extra large), is for people over 6 feet tall! Imagine the chest on a 6-foot+ guy only being 44 inches, hence the beanpole reference. Anyway, my shirts end up being below my knees, so I have to get my dear mother to hem them (yeah, my wife just doesn’t do that kind of stuff).
There you have it readers: the silliest post I’ve ever written.

First off
You never have once asked me to hem your shirts…
even though if you did…. I still probably wouldn’t LOL
But the point is, you’ve never asked… HMP
Asalaam alaikum,
NO it’s not a silly post. American muslims have a problem ordering from this site due to the fact that the clothing are modeled after the SYRIANS it originally catered too. As a muslimah that wants to STAY modest i’ve resolved to NO purchasing tuniks from this site. I have asked them on NUMEROUS occasians to redue their sizing chart to NO avail. I feel your paid brother and NO post is silly if it involves real thought.
Ma salaama
