Asrar Saudi Thobe Black
R 1,399.00
Black does something to a diamond weave that white never quite manages: it turns the pattern into light. On the black Asrar the structured weave sits almost invisible until the fabric moves, and then the surface catches and releases a quiet geometry that plain black cloth simply does not have.
Underneath the fabric the Asrar formula is untouched: a traditional Saudi collar, tailored cuffs and signature Amaani buttons at the collar, placket, cuffs and upper chest pocket, with a hidden zip keeping the front seamless from collar to hem.
Wear it to an evening Nikah, an Eid gathering that runs late, or any formal occasion where black is the sharper answer. Among the Signature Collection this is the colourway for the man who wants depth without a single visible flourish.
Understated. Precise. Distinctly Amaani.
Also available in classic white.

Size Guidance
Amaani Thobes are sized using two precise measurements: length and width.
The numeric size (e.g. 52) reflects the thobe length in inches, measured from shoulder to hem.
The letter size (M, L, XL, XXL) determines the overall width and fit profile.
For a sharper, tailored appearance, select a smaller letter size.
For a more relaxed, traditional silhouette, opt for a larger size.
Choose your standard length according to height, then refine the fit by selecting the width that best reflects your personal preference.
The number is the length in inches, shoulder to hem. The letter is the fit through the chest and body. All measurements in centimetres.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Amaani Asrar Saudi Thobe in Black?
It is the black colourway of the Asrar, one of Amaani's four Signature Saudi thobes: a subtle diamond weave with a traditional Saudi collar, tailored cuffs, hidden zip and signature buttons across the collar, placket, cuffs and chest pocket.
What does the diamond weave look like on black?
Still, the black reads plain; in motion, the weave catches the light and the diamond pattern surfaces quietly. It is the most understated way to wear a patterned thobe.
Why choose the black Asrar over the black Sakeen?
Both share the Saudi collar and signature hardware. The Sakeen is completely smooth; the Asrar adds the diamond weave, so the fabric itself has depth even though the design stays minimal. It comes down to whether you want your black thobe silent or quietly textured.
What occasions suit it?
Evening events, Nikah, Eid and formal gatherings. Black holds its formality from Maghrib onwards better than any other colour.
How does the sizing work?
Amaani thobes are sized by two measurements. The number (e.g. 56) is the thobe length in inches, measured from shoulder to hem - choose it according to your height. The letter (S, M, L, XL, XXL) is the width and fit profile: select a smaller letter for a sharper, tailored appearance, or a larger one for a more relaxed, traditional silhouette.
What sizes does it come in?
Lengths 54 through 62, each in five width fits from S to XXL, 25 sizes in total. The size picker on this page shows live availability per size.
How does the front fasten?
A hidden zip behind the placket keeps the front seamless. The placket buttons are signature detail rather than fastenings.
What fabric is it cut in?
It is cut in easy care polyester, a fabric that holds its colour, resists creasing and needs very little looking after.
Does black fade with washing?
Polyester holds dye well. Wash it cool, hang it to dry and give it a warm iron if needed. The polyester holds its shape wash after wash, so it stays crisp without any fussing.
What detailing does it carry?
Signature Amaani buttons at the collar, placket, cuffs and upper chest pocket, tailored cuffs and the hidden zip. On the black base the hardware sits close to tone, so the detail stays discreet.
Is there a white version?
Yes. The same cut is available in classic white as the Amaani Asrar Saudi Thobe White.
Would it work as a gift?
Yes - the Asrar arrives in premium Amaani packaging, and black is a safe, considered choice for a Nikah or Eid gift.
How much is delivery and how long does it take?
Standard delivery is R160 and takes 3 to 5 working days anywhere in South Africa. Orders over R1000 ship free.
