Amaani Fakhama Structured Saudi Thobe

What is the Amaani Fakhama Thobe?

It is the structured one in the Amaani Saudi range: a firm diamond weave that holds a sharp, architectural silhouette, topped with a shirt style collar and finished with signature buttons on the placket and chest pocket. A hidden zip keeps the front seamless, and it comes in black and white.

What makes the collar different?

The Fakhama wears a shirt style collar rather than the traditional Saudi stand, which gives it a contemporary, tailored edge. If you like your thobe to nod towards formal shirting, this is the cut.

Why does it have no cuffs?

By design. Leaving the cuff off lets the firm fabric fall straight to the sleeve hem in one clean drop, which reinforces the structured, assertive character of the garment.

What colours does it come in?

Two: Black and White. The diamond weave carries the same body and structure in both, so the choice is between a commanding dark and a crisp ceremonial light.

How does the front fasten?

With a hidden zip behind the placket, so the front stays seamless and the thobe is quick to put on and take off.

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 Fakhama is stocked in 25 codes from 54S through 60XXXL; the size picker on this page shows live availability.

Who is it for?

Men who want a distinguished alternative to the classic Saudi silhouette: the structure and shirt style collar read modern at a Nikah, a formal gathering or a working week that demands presence.

Is this suitable as a gift?

Yes. It looks and feels deliberate straight out of the box, and the black or white choice keeps the guesswork low.

Can I see it in store before buying?

Yes. The Fakhama hangs at Cii Stores, Shop 4, Ormonde Shopping Centre, Johannesburg, where the weight and structure of the weave are easiest to appreciate in hand.

What else do you stock in this range?

Cii Stores carries structured, classic and casual thobe cuts across its stocked brands, including the wider Amaani line and the Imaarah range. Compare them in the thobes department on ciistores.com.

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.
