What is a Qamis or Thoub

The qamis is a traditional Arabic garment (manel) for men. A qamis can come in different lengths, as shirt/shirt length or down to your ankles.

Neat and easy to combine

It is a practical garment for men and can also easily be combined with dress shoes or slippers or sneakers. For example, wear a qamis with a blazer over it and you already have a very business look. In summer it is a very refreshing piece of clothing and in winter you can wear a cardigan over it.

What you combine it with makes it businesslike, sporty or simply simple. The qamis is a must-have of which every man should have at least one in his wardrobe.

Under a Qamis or Thoub you can wear a cotton T-shirt and cotton trousers or normal trousers. Please note that this underwear must be in the same color as the Qamis or Thoub. Also don't wear a T-shirt with a print, because it is visible and does not look very nice and you lose the elegance of a thoub. Also make sure that you iron the Qamis or Thoub properly before wearing it, some people prefer not to do this.

Measures of a Qamis or Thoub

With the thoub, the height of the person is very important and that is why the sizes of a thoub are indicated in two numbers. This number indicates the length of the qamis and thoub in English INCHES. Size 50 therefore means that the Qamis or Thoub is 50 inches long. To arrive at centimeters you must multiply this number by 2.54. This means that size 50 gives a length of 127cm. To know your size, measure yourself from your shoulders to your ankles. Or simply your body height minus the head and neck. The head and neck are on average 25 cm long.

The more expensive Thoubs are, in addition to the length, also indicated with an S, M, L... (clothing size). This is the indication for the clothing size (Width/Width) of the Qamis and/or Thoub. If there is no clothing size listed, you can assume that the width is equal to a Large. If a clothing size is listed, you can also assume that the model is fitted, make sure you choose the correct clothing size.

Colors and fabrics

A qamis usually comes in one solid color, which can be any color you can think of. The fabric can also differ per design. A qamis usually has an upright collar with buttons. The buttons can of course also differ and sometimes they are decorated with thread. The sleeves can also be decorated with thread. But there are few very exuberant qamis. The qamis quickly makes an outfit elegant and pious.
