Imaarah Short Sleeve Thobe

What is this thobe?

It is a men's short sleeve thobe from Imaarah, made in a light breathable fabric with a chest pocket, a contrast inner placket and a concealed zip. It keeps the clean lines of a traditional thobe in a cut meant for warm weather.

What fabric is it made of?

It is a light, breathable woven fabric chosen for hot conditions. The weight sits closer to a summer shirt than to a heavy winter thobe.

How does it fasten?

It closes with a concealed zip that runs down the placket, so there is no row of buttons to work through and the front stays flat. The button at the neck is decorative and does not open.

What sizes does it come in?

Lengths run from 52 to 62. The number is the length of the garment in inches measured from the shoulder to the hem, so a 56 is roughly 56 inches long.

How does the sizing fit?

The cut is a modern relaxed fit rather than a slim fit, so most men take their usual length. If you want extra room through the body, go up one length.

Who is it for?

It is a men's thobe. It suits anyone who wants a modest, covered garment that stays comfortable in heat, from everyday wear at home to masjid attendance and travel.

How do I wash it?

Machine wash cold and do not bleach. Hang it to dry or tumble dry on low heat, and use a cool iron if it needs pressing.

What colours can I get?

Black, navy, white and grey. All four are stocked, and you choose the colour and the length together on this page.

How is this different from a collared thobe?

The sleeve and the collar are the difference. A short sleeve thobe is built for heat and everyday ease, while a collared thobe with cuffed sleeves is the more formal choice.

What else do you stock in this range?

We carry collared Saudi thobes, Moroccan short sleeve thobes and boys thobes alongside this one. The full selection sits on our Thobes page.

Is this suitable as a gift?

Yes, and a neutral colour is the safe pick if you know the recipient's usual length. Our team can help you work out a size if you are not sure.

Can I see it in store?

Yes. It is on the floor at Cii Stores in Ormonde, Johannesburg, so you can check the colour and the length in person before you buy.

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 this item?

Yes. As a non consumable item, it can be returned within 7 days in unused, unopened condition and in its original packaging. Please note that sale items are non refundable.
