Winter Middle Eastern Bisht Jalabiya

This winter bisht is similar to a full length Arabic coat. It is made of wool and internally padded with fur. Its relatively heavier weight (total weight is approximately 6 pounds) due to its internal fur is perfect to keep you very warm in the coldest of winters. The bisht due to its nature is quite roomy from the inside and wide and can be easily worn even when you are wearing a jacket. You can therefore wear it regardless whether you are a large or small frame individual.

The bisht is full length and similar to a thobe extends to the feet. It can be worn by individuals who are 5 feet 8 inches (58” length) or 6 feet (60” length). Taller men can wear it as well if the bisht length is appropriate for them.

An excellent one-time investment that can keep you warm for many winters. Available in very limited quantities. Imported from Saudi-Arabia.

Bisht (Arabic: بشت) is a traditional Arabic men’s cloak popular in the Persian Gulf and some Arab countries. It is essentially a flowing outer cloak made of wool, worn over the thobe. The bisht is soft, and it is usually black, brown, beige, cream or grey in color. As winters are warm in this region, the bisht is usually only worn for prestige on special occasions such as weddings, or festivals such as Eid, or for Friday prayer.
