Urban Thobe

The Urban Thobe is for the man who moves between the city and the masjid without missing a beat. A clean Mandarin collar, zipper placket, and contrast jersey cuffs give it a modern edge that works from Jumu'ah to the office. Sharp but relaxed - exactly what the name promises.

Amaani thobes are sized using two precise measurements: length and width. Every size code combines the two, for example 56M: the number is the thobe length in inches, and the letter is the width and fit profile.
Step 1 - choose your length by height
The numeric size (52 to 62) is the thobe length in inches, measured from shoulder to hem. A well-fitted thobe ends around the ankle. Use this guide as a starting point:
| Your height | Recommended length |
|---|---|
| Up to 1.68 m (5'6") | 52 |
| 1.68 to 1.73 m (5'6" to 5'8") | 54 |
| 1.73 to 1.78 m (5'8" to 5'10") | 56 |
| 1.78 to 1.83 m (5'10" to 6'0") | 58 |
| 1.83 to 1.88 m (6'0" to 6'2") | 60 |
| Over 1.88 m (6'2") | 62 |
These ranges are a guide. If you prefer the thobe to sit slightly higher, choose the shorter length; for fuller coverage to the ankle, choose the longer one. The most accurate check is to measure a thobe that already fits you well, from the shoulder seam straight down to the hem.
Step 2 - choose your width fitting
The letter size (S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL) determines the overall width and fit profile of the thobe.
| Fitting | Profile |
|---|---|
| S | Sharpest, most tailored cut |
| M | Tailored with easy movement, the most popular choice |
| L | Comfortable, relaxed through the chest and body |
| XL to XXXL | Fullest, most traditional silhouette |
For a sharper, tailored appearance select a smaller letter; for a more relaxed, traditional drape select a larger one. If you are between fittings, most men prefer to size up.
Kids thobes
Kids sizes use the same principle: the number is the thobe length in inches. Measure your son from the shoulder to the ankle and choose the closest size, sizing up if he is between sizes to leave room to grow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Urban Thobe different from a classic Omani thobe?
The Urban is built for modern everyday life - a Mandarin collar, zipper placket, and stretch jersey cuffs give it a contemporary feel, while keeping the clean lines of a traditional thobe. Less formal than the Omani style, more versatile for daily wear.
Is the Urban Thobe suitable for Jumu'ah?
Yes. The clean silhouette and Mandarin collar make it ideal for Jumu'ah, while the relaxed fit and stretch cuffs mean it works just as well for everyday and office wear.
What fabric is it made from?
100% Spun Polyester - a cool, easy-care fabric that holds its shape and washes well.

Warm machine wash with light colours, or hand wash. Warm iron. Use non-chlorine bleach only to protect the fabric finish.
