What is a Thobe?

A thobe, also spelled thawb or thoub, is a traditional long robe primarily worn by men in Arab countries. This garment is a significant part of Islamic and Arab culture, representing modesty, tradition, and elegance. Thobes are versatile, making them suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions.

What Materials Are Thobes Made Of?

Our thobes are made from a variety of materials to suit different climates and preferences:

• Cotton: Lightweight and breathable, perfect for hot climates.
• Polyester: Durable and easy to care for, often blended with other fabrics.
• Wool Blend: Warm and insulating, suitable for colder weather.

Our thobes are expertly tailored in the United Arab Emirates, ensuring high quality and attention to detail.

Are All Items on Your Website Custom-Made?

Can Non-Muslims Wear Thobes?

Absolutely! Thobes are worn by people of all backgrounds for their comfort, elegance, and cultural significance. They are not restricted to any particular religion.

Thobe vs. Kandura

The term "thobe" is used broadly across different regions, while "kandura" specifically refers to the Emirati version, known for its simple design and collarless neckline.

How Do I Clean and Maintain a Thobe?

Proper care ensures your thobe lasts longer:

• Spot Clean: Use mild detergent on stains.
• Machine Wash: Suitable for cotton, polyester, and blends. Use a cold cycle to maintain fabric quality.
• Hand Wash: Recommended for delicate fabrics like silk.
• Dry Clean: Essential for woolen thobes to avoid damage.
• Air Dry: Helps prevent shrinkage and maintains the shape of the thobe.
• Ironing: Use low to medium heat and iron while slightly damp for best results.
• Storage: Store on padded hangers in a cool, dry place to maintain the garment’s shape.

Most of our thobes can be machine washed on a cold cycle. However, wool products should be dry cleaned to preserve their quality.
