The thobe is the long garment men wear across the Gulf. Here you find ours, from the everyday models to the Elite lines in heavier fabric, sorted from premium to basic. Sizes for men and boys.
What makes a good thobe
Three things: the fabric does not show through, the cut falls straight without pulling at the shoulders, and the length ends just above the ankle. Our Elite lines (Imperial, Platinum and Cashmere) use a heavier, smoother fabric for Eid and special occasions; the standard line is lighter for every day.
White thobe
White is the classic choice for Friday prayer and Eid. We carry white and off-white in both Saudi and Emirati cuts, for men and for boys, so father and son can match.
Caring for your thobe
Wash cold, hang to dry on a hanger and iron on low if needed. Keep white thobes apart from dark colours in the wash.
Vragen en antwoorden
Is a thobe the same as a qamis?
Yes. Thobe is the word used in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, qamis the word used in North Africa and Europe. It is the same long garment with sleeves that ends just above the ankle. We use both names on this site.
What should I wear under a thobe?
Light trousers or a sirwal that end above the ankle, and an undershirt if the fabric is light. A skin-coloured undershirt shows least under a white thobe. The trousers keep you covered when the thobe opens at the side slits while sitting or bending.
Can I return a thobe if the size is wrong?
Yes, within 14 days. Send the thobe back unworn and with the label still on, and choose another size. Not sure about your size before ordering? Send us your height and weight via WhatsApp or e-mail and we will advise you.
Do you have thobes for boys?
Yes: the Imperial Elite, Platinum Elite and Cashmere Elite lines come in boys' sizes in the same colours as the men's models.
