Fakhama Saudi Thobe Black
R 1,399.00
If the white Fakhama is crisp, the black is architectural. The firm diamond weave gives the colour a depth that flat black fabric cannot reach, and the structured cut turns it into clean, deliberate planes: a thobe that looks drafted rather than sewn.
The shirt style collar, unique to the Fakhama within the Signature Collection, frames the face with a contemporary line, while signature Amaani buttons mark the placket and upper chest pocket. A hidden zip keeps the front seamless, and the cuffless sleeve falls straight to the wrist without interruption.
This is the Signature for evening events, formal gatherings and the man whose taste runs modern: black on black structure, detail kept to the essentials.
Defined. Structured. Unmistakably Amaani.
Also available in crisp 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 Fakhama Saudi Thobe in Black?
It is the black colourway of the Fakhama, one of Amaani's four Signature Saudi thobes: a firm diamond weave with a shirt style collar, hidden zip, signature buttons on the placket and chest pocket, and a clean cuffless fall.
How does the diamond weave read on black?
As depth. The weave breaks the flatness of the black, so the surface shifts subtly as the fabric moves, while from a distance the thobe stays a clean, solid black.
Who is the black Fakhama for?
The man who wants his formalwear modern: the shirt collar, the structured fall and the black on black detailing read closer to contemporary tailoring than to traditional thobe design, without leaving the tradition behind.
What occasions suit it?
Evening events, Nikah, Eid and formal gatherings. The structure holds its line through a long night, and black keeps its formality after dark.
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.
What is a shirt style collar on a thobe?
A pointed, fold-down collar like a formal shirt's, rather than the standing band of a classic Saudi collar. Within the Signature Collection, only the Fakhama carries it.
Why is there no cuff?
By design. The sleeve falls straight and uninterrupted to the wrist, matching the clean architectural fall of the body. It is the Fakhama's defining detail alongside the collar.
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 the black hold up to 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.
Is there a white version?
Yes. The same structured cut is available in crisp white as the Amaani Fakhama Saudi Thobe White.
Would it work as a gift?
Yes - the Fakhama arrives in premium Amaani packaging, and the black is a distinctive gift for the man who already owns the classics.
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.

Size exchanges are available within the same window, with shipping for the return and the replacement paid by the customer. Please note there are strictly no exchanges or refunds after Eid, and sale items cannot be returned.
