A custom Saudi thobe starts from the Saudi style: a standing, close collar. In our configurator, Saudi is one of the two models where you choose the collar yourself, and you can add a chest pocket too. Ordering opens soon, inshaAllah. Until then, you will find our Elite qamis below, which you can order today.
Why men choose the Saudi model
The standing collar gives a Saudi thobe a smart, tidy look. Many men wear it to work, on Fridays and on formal days. With your own measurements you decide how loose it falls.
The collar is the heart of it
The Kraag step has 24 options for the Classic and Saudi models. Two of them carry the Saudi name:
- Saudi recht: the Saudi collar with straight ends.
- Saudi rond: the Saudi collar with rounded ends.
Both close with 2 buttons or 2 press studs. You can also choose another collar on the Saudi model, such as a Mao collar with one button, Cutaway, Qatari or Koeweiti, or no collar at all.

Chest pocket or not
Saudi and Classic are the only models with the Borstzak step. Choose Borstzak if you like to keep a pen or a miswak close, or Geen for a clean front. A chest pocket is also a place for your initials: the Borduursel step lets you add up to three letters.
Fabric for a Saudi thobe
In the fabric step you choose from Imperial (16 colours), Cashmere (11), Katoen (8), Linnen (12), Satijn (14) or the white Waterafstotend. White and sand are the classic Gulf colours; grey, navy and black are calm for every day.
Price and delivery
The Saudi model starts at €79.95. It is made in the UAE and we ship to the Netherlands and Belgium. Express delivery in 7 to 12 days will be possible, inshaAllah. As it is made to your measurements, the 14-day right of withdrawal does not apply.

Vragen en antwoorden
How should a standing collar fit?
It should close around your neck without pressing. One finger should fit between collar and neck. If you feel it when you swallow or turn your head, it is too tight. Measure your neck area with care, or send us a message if you are unsure.
Can I have a Saudi thobe with a zip?
The Sluiting step includes zips, inside or outside, next to buttons and press studs. Not every model offers every closure, so the configurator shows only what works for the model you picked. If a zip matters to you, check it there first.
How do I iron a standing collar?
Iron the inside of the collar first, then the outside, on a low setting. Work from the tips towards the middle, so no creases form at the ends. Hang the thobe on a hanger straight away, so the collar keeps standing up.
Is a Saudi thobe suitable for summer?
Yes, if you choose a lighter fabric such as Katoen or Linnen and a lighter colour. The standing collar sits close to the neck, so some men prefer a short sleeve in summer. The Mouw step offers Korte mouw for that.
Is a Saudi thobe the same as a thawb?
Yes. Thawb, thobe and the Dutch word qamis all point to the same long garment. Saudi refers to the style from Saudi Arabia. So whichever word you search for, the Saudi model in our configurator is the one you are looking for.
