Shipping Thobes from Turkey to Syria, Jordan, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia: Cost and Time

What matters when shipping men’s thobes

Thobes are fairly light and fold easily, so air suits one or two, land is cheaper for several, and combine them with kufi caps and menswear in one parcel.

Cut and size

Turkish thobes can differ in cut from Gulf styles, so check length, shoulder width, collar and sleeves before ordering, and compare the size chart with a thobe that fits you. Pick fabric by season, cotton for summer.

Thobe fabrics and seasons

A summer thobe is usually cut from a light cotton weave or a polyester blend that creases less, while a winter thobe uses wool or a heavier blend. Read the description to learn the fabric and whether it turns see-through in light, because thin white fabric needs a suitable undergarment.

Collar, sleeves and size

The collar differs between a Gulf thobe with a closed collar and a Syrian one with an open collar, so pick the one you are used to. Measure shoulder, chest and total length from a thobe you already own and compare with the seller’s chart, and check whether the cuffs take changeable cufflinks or snaps.

Common mistakes when ordering thobes

A thobe is sometimes ordered by length alone and arrives tight across the chest, or people forget that it shortens slightly after the first wash. Ask how much it shrinks, watch the embroidery at the collar because it affects ironing, and if you are ordering several for a family, combine them into one parcel.
