Hadith on Clothing: Recommendation for garment in middle of shins

Ibn Umar reported: I passed by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, while my garment was falling. The Prophet said, “O Abdullah, raise your garment.” I raised it up, then the Prophet said, “More.” I raised it again and I kept pulling it up until some people said, “To where?” The Prophet said, “Halfway between the shins.”
