Islamic clothing for men

The men's department covers what a Muslim man actually wears and carries, rather than one category of it. Thobes make up the largest part of the range, in Saudi, Moroccan, Omani, collared and short sleeve cuts, and alongside them sit toppies and kufis, shemaghs, and the smaller accessories that tend to get bought at the same time.

Because Cii Stores is a department store rather than a single label, the range spans several brands and a wide spread of prices, from an everyday cap to a premium tailored thobe. That is useful when you are dressing for something specific, since you can compare styles and price points in one place instead of across four shops.

Questions and answers

What does the men's department at Cii Stores include?
It brings together thobes, toppies and kufis, shemaghs and men's accessories in one place. Thobes are the largest part of it, but the department is meant to cover everything a man needs rather than clothing alone.
What is a toppie?
A toppie is the fitted cap worn by Muslim men, also called a kufi or a topi depending on where you are from. Styles range from plain cotton for daily wear to embroidered and crocheted versions kept for Jumuah and Eid.
What is a shemagh?
A shemagh is the square cotton headscarf worn folded over the head, most familiar in red and white or black and white check. It is worn with a thobe in Gulf dress and is also used plainly as sun protection.
What should I wear for Jumuah?
Most men choose a thobe or a kurta with a toppie, in a light colour, though there is no fixed requirement beyond dressing cleanly and modestly. Comfort matters more than formality if you are coming from work.
What sizes do you carry for men?
Sizing depends on the garment: thobes are sold by length in inches, while caps and accessories are sold by head size or as one size. The sizing detail is given on each product page, since it varies between styles and brands.
Which brands do you stock for men?
The men's range spans several brands rather than one label, including Amaani and Imaarah for thobes, alongside independent suppliers for caps, scarves and accessories. Stocking them together is what lets you compare directly.
What is the price range in the men's department?
Men's items at Cii Stores run from around R65 for a simple cap up to roughly R1,499 for a premium tailored thobe. Most of the range sits well below the top of that spread.
Do you stock matching outfits for fathers and sons?
Several thobe styles are made in both adult and kids sizes in the same cut and colour, which is what most people are after for Eid. Availability of a matching pair depends on stock in both size ranges at the time.
What makes a good gift for a Muslim man?
A toppie, an attar or a tasbeeh are the easiest choices because none of them need a size. A thobe is a stronger gift but riskier, so check a length he already owns before buying one.
Can I try men's clothing on in store?
Yes. Cii Stores is a physical shop in Ormonde, Johannesburg, and trying a thobe for length is worth doing if you have not bought that style before. You can also order online for delivery across South Africa.
How should I care for Islamic menswear?
Most thobes and caps do best washed cool and hung to dry rather than tumbled, which protects both shape and colour. Specific care instructions are on the garment label, since fabrics differ across the range.
How much is delivery and how long does it take?
Standard shipping is R160 and orders are delivered within 3 to 5 business days. Delivery is free on orders over R1000.
Can I return something from the men's range?
Yes. Non consumable items can be returned within 7 days in unused, unopened condition and in their original packaging. Please note that sale items are non refundable.
