Rrobaqepes Uka



I had a visit with Rrobaqepes Uka today. Uka, which means wolf in Albanian, is a tailor in Prizren who is making a suit for me. I went in today for my first fitting. The pants need to be widened in the thighs, and the jacket is a bit snug in the back, but he'll fix that and with luck, it'll be finished in a week. The pants don't have a waistband yet (although the zipper had been put in), so it was a little weird to walk around in falling down pants. But as long as there's more room put in the thighs, they'll be great.


PS: rrobaqepes is Albanian for tailor or seamstress.
