Oh, and some commentators have noted that some of the designs look to use the same fabric on a different specific piece of clothing.
From what I understand of African fashion, that's quite common - at least in Ghana. This looks to be more Nigerian than Ghanaian, so I am guessing it's close (Ghanaian formalwear tends to leave the head bare, from what I've seen, and much more black-and-white) - but they'll run off a big roll of fabric, the roll will be unique, and it'll then get used in several individual bits of clothing. At least, that's how most of my in-laws get their Ghanaian clothing made.
You're not, I did. Maybe not so relevant, then, Tanzania's all the way over the other side of the continent.
Bit dicey assuming common practice over such a vast distance. You can kinda get away with for Nigeria - Ghana, because they do quite a few things in very similar ways ... even if they don't like to admit it!
(Thing English and Scots for the kind of antagonistic relationship they've got with each other)

Could be that he is wearing it backwards.
