Jubbas – Conventional Outfit For Modern Times
A Jubba is a long garment for men that drapes down to the ankle length that is sometimes worn with a trouser underneath. It’s a trendy apparel item which is commonly worn during the Middle Eastern and other Muslim countries which have their own variety of names for the clothing. While in the Levant region (Syria, Palestine and Jordan) it’s commonly referred to as dishdasha, in to UAE and Oman it’s commonly referred to as Kandura.
Jubbas comes in different colors and may come in most different design depending during the region. During the Gulf Region it is mainly worn into white colour and has collar neck or round neck with the exception of Oman where cream colour also as white colour Jubbas are the norm however you do find other colours worn commonly. The Moroccan Jubbas sometimes referred to as Galabeya or Jellabiya come having a huge hood and often will incorporate striped designs or plain colours and sometimes with buttons with intricate however light embroidery while in the border.
Jubbas designs have commonly been very classical towards nature resembling the Middle Eastern and Muslim culture and tradition. There has been a small amount of effort made to actually re-style the clothe to add more variety to it. Historically the Jubbas were the apparel of Arab Bedouins who led a very simple lifestyle however when the Arab Muslim started expanding to other territories after the advent of Islam enriched the style of Jubbas from a simple Bedouin attire to one that was befitting the courts of caliphs and wazirs (ministers). Since that development there has been a small amount of introduction of new models on the Jubba clothe.
Just recently has there been a fresh surge of new design and designs added to this classical clothe and diversity of range to appeal to the youth with strong inclination to their religious identity. This has driven demand for the Jubbas which has never had significantly of a competing market on the west due to the fact for the products mainly being imported from the Middle East reflecting the styles for the region.
Now the competition is started to kick off between Islamic merchants trying to compete towards their own exclusive range of designer Jubbas. These Jubbas have introduced patterns with zips and buttons on the sides, belt necks, chest pockets and dark-colored piping to funk up the classic Arabian clothing to gaze more cool and slick.
