The government of oman is taking a tough action to preserve the look. The ministry of commerce recently laid out standards for how distacos must look. They can't have a collar, and they must be a single color in the body. Anyone caught wearing a distacha that deviates from the new rules could be fined up to a thousand omani reals.

Mariupol. Up to 90% of its structures have been destroyed, and while thousands have fled, plenty remain--without food, water, medicine or electricity. Najib Razak, once Malaysia’s prime minister, left office embroiled in scandal. Now
he’s back on the campaign trail. And Oman has set
strict sartorial standards around the dishdasha, its national dress.
