Amaani Drift Hooded Thobe

What is the Amaani Drift Hooded Thobe?

It is a hooded thobe with a streetwear character: relaxed fit, an Amaani Signature Zipper down the front and intricate detailing across the chest. It comes in black and white.

Does it really have a hood?

Yes, a full hood with drawstrings is the defining feature of the Drift. Worn up or down, it changes the whole attitude of the garment.

How does the fit run?

Relaxed by design. It is cut to hang loose and comfortable rather than tailored close, which suits its casual, everyday character.

How does it fasten?

With the Amaani Signature Zipper running the front. It is practical for quick wear and the zip pull doubles as a design detail.

What fabric is it made from and how do I care for it?

It is cut in polyester, a fabric that holds its colour, resists creasing and needs very little looking after. Wash it cool, hang it to dry and give it a warm iron if needed.

How does Amaani thobe sizing work?

Amaani sizes combine a length number with a fit letter. The number, 52 to 62, is the length of the thobe, from 133 cm on a 52 up to 158 cm on a 62, and the letter sets the body fit, with S the slimmest cut and the letters widening through M, L, XL and beyond. A 56M, for example, is a 143 cm length in a medium fit. The Drift is stocked from 54M through 60XL; the relaxed cut means most men take their usual code.

Is there a short sleeve version?

Yes. Cii Stores also stocks the Amaani Drift Short Sleeve Thobe, the same design cut for hot days. Search for it on ciistores.com if you prefer short sleeves.

Who is it for?

Younger men and anyone who wants thobe coverage in a casual, modern shape. It is the thobe for madressah runs, travel and everyday wear rather than formal occasions.

Is this suitable as a gift?

Yes, it is a favourite gift for teens and students precisely because it does not look like a formal thobe. Black is the safer pick if you are unsure.

Can I see it in store before buying?

Yes. The Drift hangs at Cii Stores, Shop 4, Ormonde Shopping Centre, Johannesburg, where you can try the hood and the relaxed fit in person.
