CASHMERE WOOL

1. Grab a measuring tape
2. Thobe Length: From the shoulder blade to just above the ankles or your preferred length, measure the length.
3. Chest Size: Measure all the way around the chest from the widest point, insert 4 fingers to obtain the correct fitting size. Then divide by 2, to get the chest size for the thobe.

(For custom made, do not divide by 2 or add any gaps)

The last 5 videos are specifically for made 2 measure thobes.

4. Arm: Measure from the top of your shoulder blade, down along the outside of your arm, to the knuckle of your thumb. Make sure your arm is relaxed for an accurate measurement.

5. Wrist: Wrap the measuring tape around your wrist, ensuring it's snug but not too tight. There should be no gaps between the tape and your skin.

6. Shoulder: Measure from the edge of one shoulder blade across the top of your back to the other shoulder blade. Stand naturally for a precise measurement.

7. Stomach: Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your stomach. Make sure the tape is parallel to the ground and is neither too loose nor too tight.

8. Neck: Place the tape around the base of your neck where the collar sits. Leave enough room for comfort without making it too tight.

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.

Where Are Your Thobes Made?

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?

No, not all our items are custom-made. In addition to our custom options, we offer handmade thobes with pre-set designs and styles taking 3 days to make, as well as ready accessories.

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.

What Are the Different Styles of Thobes?

Thobes come in various regional styles, each with distinct features:

• Omani Thobes: Typically feature a tassel (furakha) on the neckline and often include intricate embroidery.
• Saudi Thobes: Known for their clean lines and buttoned collars, often worn for formal occasions.
• Emirati Thobes: Characterized by their loose fit and high-quality fabrics, embodying luxury and simplicity.
• Bahraini Thobes: Similar to Saudi thobes but with subtle regional distinctions in stitching and fit.
• Kuwaiti Thobes:

How Do I Pronounce "Thobe"?

In standard Arabic, it’s pronounced “thowb” with a long "o" sound. Some regions may pronounce it as “thob” with a shorter "o."

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.

Are Your Thobes Dry Clean Only or Can I Machine Wash Them?

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

What Accessories Complement a Thobe?

Common accessories include:

• Headwear: Kufi, taqiyah, keffiyeh or ghutra, often secured with an agal.
• Footwear: Traditional sandals or modern shoes.
• Outer Garments: A bisht (cloak) for formal events.
