Frequently asked questions
What is the Drift Thobe (Short Sleeve) in Black?
It is the black colourway of the short sleeve Drift: the signature zipper and intricate chest detailing of the Drift range, cut with short sleeves for warm weather.
Why pick black for a summer thobe?
Black hides the day. For daily wear, school runs and work, the black Drift shrugs off marks that would show on white, and the relaxed cut keeps it cool despite the shade.
When would I wear a short sleeve thobe?
Warm weather: daily prayers, Jumu'ah in summer and relaxed occasions. For formal events like a Nikah, a long sleeve thobe reads more formal.
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 is the chest detailing?
Intricate embroidered style work across the chest, the craftsmanship signature of the Drift range, paired with the Amaani zipper.
How relaxed is the fit?
Genuinely relaxed. The Drift is Amaani's easiest fitting cut, made for movement and heat rather than a tailored line. Take your usual size for the intended drape.
What is it made of?
It is cut in easy care polyester, a fabric that holds its colour, resists creasing and needs very little looking after.
How do I wash it?
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.
Is there a white short sleeve Drift?
Yes, listed separately as the Amaani Drift Thobe (Short Sleeve) White, with its own photos and sizes.
What about long sleeves?
The long sleeve Drift Hoody Thobe carries the same zipper and chest detailing with a hood, for the months when short sleeves stop making sense.
