Amaani Iconic Black Thobe

What is the Amaani Iconic Thobe?

It is an onyx black shirt collar thobe with delicate handcrafted embroidery down the placket and meticulous stitching at the cuffs, finished with Amaani signature buttons in your choice of silver or gold.

What colour is the thobe itself?

Onyx black only. The choice on this listing is the button hardware, not the fabric: the same black thobe comes with either silver or gold signature buttons.

How do I choose between silver and gold buttons?

Pick the finish in the options on this page. Silver reads cooler and more contemporary; gold reads warmer and more ceremonial. The embroidery and tailoring are identical on both.

What detailing does it carry?

Delicate handcrafted embroidery runs the placket, refined stitching marks the cuffs, and the shirt collar is tailored with its own intricate detailing. Signature buttons sit at the collar, cuff and top pocket.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, two integrated pockets placed to keep the lines of the thobe clean.

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 Iconic runs from 54M through 60XL in both button finishes; check the size picker on this page for live availability.

Who is it for?

Professionals and occasion goers who want one sharp black thobe with a personal touch. The button choice makes it feel specified rather than bought off a pile.

Is this suitable as a gift?

Yes. A black thobe is the safest thobe gift there is, and choosing the silver or gold hardware for the person adds a considered touch.

Can I see it in store before buying?

Yes. Compare the silver and gold hardware in person at Cii Stores, Shop 4, Ormonde Shopping Centre, Johannesburg, before you pick a side.

What else do you stock in this range?

Cii Stores stocks black thobes across several brands and price points, from plain to fully embroidered, including the Imaarah range. Browse the thobes department on ciistores.com.

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

It is cut in polycotton, a polyester and cotton blend that pairs cotton breathability with polyester durability. Wash it cool, hang it to dry and give it a warm iron if needed.

How much is delivery and how long does it take?
