Men Clothing Culture;saudi Arabia by Mickey7(m): 5:38pm On Aug 16, 2014
Saudi men wear the traditional
dress called a thobe. Wearing the thobe expresses
equality and is also perfectly suited to the hot Saudi
climate. During warm and hot weather, white thobes are
worn by Saudi men and boys. During the cool weather,
wool thobes in dark colours are not uncommon. At
special times, men often wear a bisht or mishlah over the
thobe. These are long white, brown or black cloaks
trimmed in gold.
A man's headdress consists of three things: the tagia, a
small white cap that keeps the gutra from slipping off the
head; the gutra itself, which is a large square of cloth;
and the igal, a doubled black cord that holds the gutra in
place. Some men may choose not to wear the igal. The
gutra is usually made of cotton and traditionally Saudis
wear either a white one or a red and white checked one.
The gutra is worn folded into a triangle and centred on
the head. PICK OUT A DAY TO DRESS THE SAUDI ARABIAN WAY cheesy Source:wikipedia. Is there anywhere I can get the thobe,gutra and igal in Nigeria smiley smiley
