The answer

The "makhit" (stitched garment) forbidden to the pilgrim in ihram is that which is tailored to fit a limb of the body, even if it does not involve actual stitching. Some people err in their state of ihram by wearing something that resembles a makhit, such as fastening the rida' (upper garment) with buttons, making it akin to a shirt.
