A warm, grounded brown that sits somewhere between formal and everyday. The kaftan is the most formal thing we make: a long-sleeved Moroccan thobe cut closer through the shoulders and chest than a gandoura, so it fits tailored rather than draped. Brown is softer than black under artificial light, which is why it photographs better indoors than most people expect. Two working pockets, which is rarer in a kaftan than it should be.

Collar: Zipped. Stands upright with no fold, so the embroidery reads cleanly from the neck down.

Placket: Embroidered down the centre chest, with a concealed zip at the neck. The zip opens far enough to pull the kaftan on and off without disturbing the collar.

Sleeve: Long, finished with embroidery at the cuff for that extra bit of shine.

Fabric: Polyester and rayon blend. It holds a drape, resists creasing when you sit, and does not need pressing after a day out.

Pockets: Two, set into the side seams, deep enough for a phone and keys.

Fit: Tailored. Closer through the shoulders and chest than our gandoura. For a roomier fit, feel free to size up. Measurements are on the size guide.

Best for: Jumu'ah, evening gatherings, Eid prayer. Brown is the quiet alternative to black, and it suits older men and younger men equally, which very few colours do.

Wash instructions: Hand wash or dry clean only. Do not squeeze or twist. Lighter shades may carry washable tailor marks, and slight colour variation can occur between restocks.
