Custom thobes are coming soon
Choose your model, fabric, collar and size, and we have it made for you, inshaAllah. Leave your email and we will let you know when you can order.
Bismillah!
You are on the list. We will email you as soon as you can order, inshaAllah.
A custom made thobe, or custom size thobe, is cut to your body instead of to a size chart. You will soon be able to give your own measurements in our configurator and have your thobe made in the UAE. Ordering does not work yet; it is coming soon, inshaAllah. Until then, you will find our Elite qamis below, which you can order today.
Why standard sizes fall short
A standard size links width and length together. A tall, slim man ends up with a thobe that is too wide. A broad man who is not tall ends up with extra fabric at the hem. Long arms, wide shoulders or a belly make it harder still.
Two ways to give your size
- Width plus length: a width size from XS to 3XL and a separate length size from 50 to 62.
- Your own measurements: length, chest, waist, hem width, shoulders and sleeve length. This is the true custom made thobe.

How to measure, in short
- Length: from the top of the shoulder, next to the neck, down to one finger above the ankle bone. Stand in socks.
- Chest: around the widest part, under the arms, with the tape flat.
- Waist: around the belly at the navel, relaxed.
- Hem width: easiest to take from a thobe you like to walk in.
- Shoulders: across the back, from one shoulder point to the other.
- Sleeve length: from the shoulder point to just past the wrist bone.
Ask someone to help, write each number down in centimetres and measure twice. The full guide in Dutch is on qamis maat opmeten.
The rule that comes with made to measure
Your thobe is made for you alone, so it cannot go back to stock. That is why the 14-day right of withdrawal does not apply.
Price, making and shipping
From €79.95; Djellaba, Royal, Prince and Omani from €89.95. Made in the UAE. We ship to the Netherlands and Belgium, and express delivery in 7 to 12 days will be possible, inshaAllah.

Vragen en antwoorden
Should I add extra centimetres for a loose fit?
No. Give your body measurements as they are. The thobe is meant to fall loose, and the room it needs is part of how the model is made. If you add centimetres yourself as well, the thobe can come out wider than you want.
Can I use the measurements a tailor took before?
Yes, if they are recent and you know what each number means. Tailors sometimes write down the finished garment size instead of the body size. If you are not sure which one you have, measure again yourself to be safe.
What if my weight changes soon?
If you expect to gain or lose a lot in the coming weeks, wait with ordering and measure again later. Your length stays the same, but chest and waist can shift. A thobe made for today's body may not fit well in a few months.
Do I measure in inches or centimetres?
Use centimetres for your own measurements. Many tape measures show inches on one side and centimetres on the other, so check which side you read. The length sizes 50 to 62 are a separate system: you pick one of those, you do not measure it.
Can someone else enter the measurements for me?
Yes. A wife, mother or sister often measures and orders for the men in the family. Make sure the person you measure stands straight and relaxed. Write the name next to each set of numbers, so nothing gets mixed up.
