Who are NorthernThobes?

We are an online thobe supplier based in Manchester, the United Kingdom, formed by three friends in 2024. We aim to supply high-quality, stylish Moroccan thobes to Muslim men all over the UK. Find out more about us on our About page.

Why Moroccan thobes?

Moroccan thobes are a unique variant of the classic Arab thobe, which is a long garment for men that ends above the ankles. The Moroccan thobe is iconic, bearing intricate patterns and designs, making it distinct from other thobes. They are also perfect for important and formal events such as a nikah or Eid, as well as being ideal for casual occasions, or just wearing around the house.

At NorthernThobes, our aim is to provide top-of-the-range Moroccan thobes made from the best materials - all of our thobes being made from 100% cotton - at an affordable price, so you can look classy for any and every occasion without having to break the bank or go out-of-pocket.

What ranges of thobes do you offer?

Currently, we offer two collections of Moroccan thobes: the Standard Collection, and the Signature Collection. The Standard Collection is a collection of short-sleeved Moroccan thobes, perfect for hot conditions and wearing indoors. The Signature Collection is a collection of classy long-sleeved, hooded Moroccan thobes ideal for formal events such as nikahs, Eid, and otherwise. They are also ideally worn over another thobe, though this isn't necessary.

What are your thobes made from?

Our thobes are made from 100% cotton, meaning they last longer, feel more comfortable, and are resistant to creasing.

Where are your thobes made?

Our thobes are made in Morocco lands by Moroccan hands. Does it get more authentic than that?

Do you intend to sell any other thobes?

Yes, in future we hope to sell a wider range of men's clothing, as well as clothing for women (niqab, abayah, etc.) and children.

How long should I expect my order to take to arrive?
