A 330GSM bonded double-layer winter thobe built to handle UK cold, rain, and wind without the bulk or impracticality of most hooded styles. The Signature Hooded Thobe addresses common complaints about winter Islamic wear: poor pocket construction, loose cuffs that get wet during wudu, pointy hoods that don't sit right, and fabrics that either fly around in wind or feel too stiff when praying.
Fabric and insulation
The bonded double-layer construction uses an exclusive fabric with a faux suede inner lining for warmth. This tight bonding creates a thicker material that insulates better than single-layer thobes while maintaining enough stretch to move naturally during prayer or walking. The fabric resists wrinkles, so you can hang it after wearing without needing to iron every time. Light water resistance handles drizzle and damp British weather without soaking through immediately.

Design that solves real problems
The zip runs from chest to neck, covering areas where cold air usually enters and making the thobe easier to put on and take off. The hood is curved rather than pointed, which sits better and looks more natural than the sharp hoods common on other hooded thobes. Two functional pockets use hidden stitching rather than exposed seams that catch or fray over time.
Ribbed cuffs keep sleeves in place during wudu and washing up, preventing wet wrists and stopping cold air from travelling up your arms. No ankle slits, no loose wrist openings, no open pocket holes. Every potential entry point for cold air is sealed. The bonded fabric weight prevents the thobe from flying around in wind, unlike traditional styles with large side slits or open designs that work well in their regional climates but let in excess cold air in British conditions.
Fit and sizing
Relaxed, oversized fit in sizes 50, 52, 56, and 58. Length falls above the ankle as intended. The fabric stretch allows comfortable movement without feeling restrictive during prayer or daily activities.
Available in black and navy. Two versatile winter colours that work across formal and casual settings without showing dirt or wear as quickly as lighter shades. Both colours suit the heavier fabric weight and maintain a clean appearance through frequent winter use.

Value for UK conditions
At £39.99, this offers better value than Moroccan djellabas that often exceed £60 while providing more practical features for British weather. Moroccan djellabas are designed for North African winters where temperatures and wind patterns differ from the UK. For British conditions with constant damp, wind, and cold, the Signature Hooded Thobe's sealed construction handles the climate more effectively.
