Blue Winter Djelleba

A mid blue, lighter than the royal and easier to wear in daylight. The winter djelleba is Morocco's cold-weather thobe and the piece we put the most fabric into: hooded, cut long and full, made from heavier cloth that hangs rather than clings. Embroidery runs down the placket and a contrast cuff finishes each sleeve. Wear it as is or layer it up with another hoodie underneath for even further comfort against those harsh winters. Hood: Traditional, attached, and large enough to actually pull up over your head. The detail that separates a djelleba from every other thobe. Placket: Embroidered from the neck down the chest. Cuff: Contrast trim at each sleeve, set against the blue so the sleeve reads as finished rather than cut off. Fabric: Heavyweight, woven for cold. Substantial enough to be your outer layer, with enough weight to keep its shape as you walk. Pockets: None. Instead there are two open side slits, made traditionally so you can reach through to the pockets of your pants. Fit: Long and full, cut for layering. There is room for a gandoura, hoodie, shirt or a kaftan beneath it. Measurements are on the size guide. Best for: Winter, Jumu'ah, the walk to the mosque. Blue reads less severe than black for a morning prayer in winter light. Wash instructions: Dry clean only. Do not squeeze or twist. Lighter shades may carry washable tailor marks, and slight colour variation can occur between restocks.
