The fastest way to know your thobe size is to compare it against a UK thobe size chart using your chest measurement and height. If you don’t have a measuring tape to hand, your regular clothing size (S–5XL) is usually a reliable starting point. And if you want a guaranteed perfect fit — including if you’re between sizes or need a plus size — you can order a custom-made thobe measured to you exactly.
Below, we’ll walk through all three methods so you can pick whichever is easiest for you.
3 Ways To Know Your Thobe Size
1) Match Your Regular Clothing Size
If you already know your regular shirt or clothing size, this is the quickest starting point. Thobe sizing generally follows the same S–5XL range as standard menswear, though the fit through the chest and shoulders can vary slightly by style (a Moroccan thobe, for example, sits looser than a Saudi-cut thobe).
This method is quick, but it’s an estimate — for a guaranteed fit, use the size chart below or get measured.
2) Use a UK Thobe Size Chart
The most reliable non-custom method is checking your chest measurement and height against a standard size chart. This removes the guesswork of “what does Large actually mean here.”
3) Get Measured for a Guaranteed Custom Fit
Charts get you close — but if you’re between sizes, taller or shorter than average, or want a plus size fit that’s properly proportioned rather than just “bigger,” a custom measurement removes all guesswork.
We manufacture every thobe in-house, so custom fit isn’t an upcharge or a special order — it’s simply an option available to anyone, standard or plus size. See our full step-by-step guide: How To Measure Men’s Thobes.
