The Difference Between A Jubba & A Thobe

What is a jubba? What is a thobe? There is often some confusion over whether a thobe is a jubba, or even a kaftan. The simple answer: the difference between a thobe and a jubba is essentially nothing - they are the same garment.

The names simply come from different regions. Arabs call it a thawb, while in Pakistan and Bangladesh it is known as a jubba or jubbah. Whichever name you use, it refers to the same piece of clothing: a traditional, ankle-length robe, usually long-sleeved.

So whatever you like to call it, there is no right or wrong. Below are a few popular styles from the CAVE thobe and jubba collection to show the range.

Burgundy Omani Thobe

A rich, deep burgundy thobe with a beautifully neat finish. Subtle V-shaped stitching runs along the chest, and it comes with side pockets for everyday convenience.

White Pleated Omani Thobe

An all-white classic jubba, perfect for everyday wear. Made for comfort with pleated detailing and pockets - and it comes in black too.

Teal Omani Thobe

The popular Omani thobe, this time in a statement teal. White detailing along the chest gives it a clean, soft finish - an easy way to stand out.
