What Is a Men’s Thobe?

 

Firstly, let’s cover the basics. Men’s thobes – what are they?

 

The word thobe comes from the Arabic word for garment. It’s a traditional piece of clothing for men and boys, popular for decades in Moroccan as well as the Middle East.

 

Thobes tend to have a loose, relaxed fit and are crafted in a traditional, lightweight Moroccan fabric. They come in different lengths and both short and long sleeved. Sometimes with hoods and usually, without – cut collarlessly with a V neck shaped neckline.

 

Men’s thobes are traditionally finished with some sort of embroidery or embellishment, usually around the neckline and often around the cuffs and hemline.
