Amaani Urban Mandarin Zip Thobe

What is the Amaani Urban Thobe?

It is Amaani's casual thobe: a mandarin collar, a zip front placket and stretch jersey cuffs in a contrast shade, cut for everyday comfort rather than ceremony. It comes in two colourways, grey with beige and black with brown.

What colourways does it come in?

Two: Grey with Beige and Black with Brown. In each, the first colour is the body of the thobe and the second is the contrast stretch jersey at the cuffs.

How does it fasten?

With a front zip set into a simple placket. It makes the thobe quick to put on and gives the front a clean, modern line.

What are the jersey cuffs?

The cuffs are made from stretch jersey, the soft knit fabric used in casual wear, in a shade that contrasts the body. They flex with the wrist and sit comfortably closed without buttons.

What kind of collar does it have?

A mandarin collar: a short stand up band that circles the neck without folded points, keeping the neckline neat and casual.

Does it have pockets?

Yes: a top pocket on the chest and double side pockets, so keys, phone and wallet all travel without spoiling the line.

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 Urban runs from 52S through 60XXL, with the 52 length made in S and M fits only; the size picker on this page lists every available code.

Who is it for?

Men who live in a thobe rather than saving it for occasions: errands, work, the masjid and everything between. The jersey cuffs and zip front make it the most relaxed cut in the Amaani range.

Is this suitable as a gift?

Yes, especially for someone who already owns formal thobes. A comfortable everyday cut is the gift that actually gets worn most days of the week.

Can I see it in store before buying?

Yes. Both colourways are stocked at Cii Stores, Shop 4, Ormonde Shopping Centre, Johannesburg, where you can feel the jersey cuffs and try the fit before deciding.

What else do you stock in this range?

Cii Stores carries casual and formal thobes side by side across its stocked brands, from Amaani's short sleeve cuts to 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 100% spun polyester, a fabric that washes easily, holds its colour and resists creasing. Wash it cool, hang it to dry and give it a warm iron if needed.
