From our customers
The white Saudi thobe arrived well packed and the stitching is excellent. I followed the size guide and size 58 fits exactly right. Wore it for Jummah the same week.
Ordered the golden Sultan bisht for my brother’s wedding. The gold trim looks exactly like the photos and delivery was faster than expected for a US order.
The Emirati kandura is lightweight and breathable — ideal for summer. Shipping took a few days longer to Texas, but the quality made up for it. Ordering a winter thobe next.

Looking to buy a bisht online without the wait of international shipping? eThobe brings authentic silk bishts straight to your doorstep across the United States, combining traditional Gulf craftsmanship with fast, reliable USA delivery. A bisht is the finishing layer that turns a thobe into a formal outfit, worn open over the shoulders for weddings, religious ceremonies, and other occasions that call for a more elevated look. Our collection is built around a lightweight silk fabric that drapes with a graceful, flowing movement rather than sitting stiff, so the cloak looks as elegant in motion as it does standing still. Whether you're dressing for your own wedding or a family celebration, you'll find a bisht here finished to genuinely stand out.
A bisht is a traditional Arabic cloak worn open over a thobe, typically reserved for formal and ceremonial occasions. Made from a lightweight silk fabric, it drapes over the shoulders without being fastened, adding a layer of formality and prestige to the outfit underneath while still allowing full freedom of movement.

Every piece reflects careful craftsmanship: a lightweight silk fabric that drapes properly, fine stitching along the seams and trim, and detailing such as embroidery or metallic zari trim on select styles.

What is a bisht made of?
Our bishts are made from a lightweight silk fabric, chosen for the graceful, flowing drape it gives the cloak when worn open over a thobe. Select styles add embroidery or metallic zari trim in gold or silver for a richer, more formal finish, but the base fabric across the collection is silk, which is part of what gives a bisht its distinctive movement and sheen.
Can I buy a bisht online in the USA?
Yes, our silk bishts are available for purchase online with fast domestic shipping across the USA, so you can receive an authentic piece without long international delivery times. We ship directly from within the United States, which means shorter transit windows and easier tracking, so you can order ahead of a wedding or ceremony with confidence instead of guessing at overseas delivery times.
Do you ship bishts across the USA?
Yes, we ship across all states in the USA, with orders processed quickly and delivered through reliable courier services. Because a bisht is almost always bought with a specific event in mind, such as a wedding or religious ceremony, we aim to keep processing times short and provide tracking details as soon as your order ships, so it arrives with time to spare.
How is a bisht worn with a thobe?
A bisht is worn open, draped over the shoulders on top of a thobe rather than fastened or buttoned closed. It sits loosely over the outfit, adding a formal, ceremonial layer without changing the fit of the thobe underneath, and is typically reserved for weddings, religious events, and other occasions where a more elevated, dressed-up appearance is expected.
Why is silk used for a bisht instead of cotton?
Silk gives a bisht its signature flowing drape and subtle sheen, which is part of what makes the cloak look formal and ceremonial rather than like an everyday layer. Cotton or wool bishts exist, but the lightweight silk fabric used across this collection moves more fluidly over the shoulders and catches light in a way that suits weddings and other special, dressed-up occasions.
What sizes are your bishts available in?
Our bishts are available in sizes S through 2XL. Check our Size Guide before ordering for the most accurate fit. Because a bisht is worn open over a thobe rather than fitted to the body, sizing is a bit more forgiving than a thobe itself, but we still recommend checking the chart against your height and shoulder width.
How do I care for a silk bisht?
Silk bishts should be dry-cleaned rather than machine washed, especially on pieces with embroidery or metallic trim, since water and heat can damage both the fabric and the detailing. Store the bisht on a padded hanger or folded flat in a breathable garment bag, away from direct sunlight, to help the silk keep its color and drape between wears.
