Saudi Thobes for Men

Saudi Thobes for Men: Sharp, Structured and Classic

When people picture a thobe, they often picture the Saudi style. Among all our mens Arabic thobes it's the most tailored: a structured collar, shirt-style cuffs and a clean front placket that make it look as smart as a suit. It's the thobe you reach for when you want to look put-together without trying too hard.

The Details That Make It a Saudi Thobe

The collar. A short, upright stand collar that frames the face neatly. This is the biggest thing that sets the Saudi thobe apart.

The cuffs. Shirt-style cuffs at the wrist, which give the sleeves a crisp, finished look.

The front. A neat button placket down the chest, clean and simple.

The fit. Long and loose for comfort, but cut straighter and sharper than many other styles.

Prefer a collarless look instead? Our Omani thobes have a round neck with detail around the neckline.

Dress Like Riyadh

In Saudi Arabia, men change their thobes with the seasons, and you can do the same:

• Summer: white and light colors. A light thobe keeps you cool and fresh. Try the executive white Arabic thobe, the ice blue classic, sky blue or classic mint green Saudi thobe. Pick soft cotton or summer-weight Toyobo finish for the most comfort.
• Winter: deeper colors and heavier fabrics. As the weather cools, darker shades and warmer fabrics take over. Try black, dove grey, olive or the executive Saudi-style forest green thobe, made in winter-weight Toyobo finish, thick wool or premium Japanese matte wool.
• Special occasions: embroidered. For Eid or weddings, choose the embroidered executive white or earth brown embroidered thobe for a dressier look.

The Full Saudi Look

Want to wear a Saudi Arabia thobe the traditional way? Here's how it's usually styled:

• Shemagh or ghutra: a red-and-white checked shemagh or a plain white ghutra on the head.
• Agal: the black cord that holds the head cloth in place.
• Leather sandals or smart shoes: for a polished finish.
• For big occasions: some men wear a bisht, a long cloak, over the thobe at weddings and formal events.

For everyday wear in America, the thobe on its own, or with a simple kufi, looks great too.

A Saudi Thobe Built for Prayer and Work

The Saudi thobe's clean, structured look works just as well at the office as it does at the masjid. It's loose enough to pray in comfortably and smart enough for meetings. Like all our mens Islamic thobes it's modest, practical and made to wear all day.

Every Size, Tailored Right

A structured collar and cuffs only look good if the fit is right. We cut every Saudi thobe with proper proportions, from S to 8XL, on a US size chart, so the collar sits neatly and the sleeves end at your wrists. Plus size thobes cost the same.

Want it even more precise? Send us your measurements, and we'll stitch your thobe to match.

Choose Your Fabric

Every design can be made in any of our fabrics:

• Toyobo finish (summer or winter weight): Japanese and Korean quality, 70% cotton and 30% polyester. It keeps the collar crisp and barely wrinkles. Ideal for the structured Saudi look.
• 100% soft cotton: light and breathable for hot days.
• Nida fabric (silky finish): a soft shine for weddings and Eid.
• Thick wool and premium Japanese matte wool: warm and refined for winter.

Make It Yours

We make custom thobes ourselves, so you can ask for:

• A taller or shorter collar
• Cufflink-style cuffs
• Embroidery around the collar or cuffs
• Any design in a different color
