Men's Djellaba: The Traditional Moroccan Hooded Garment
A djellaba is a long, loose-fitting garment with long sleeves and a pointed hood, the qob. This style has been worn by men in Morocco for centuries, both at home, for prayer, and during holidays. Its loose cut allows air to circulate and does not restrict movement.
In this collection, you'll find our men's models, from simple designs for daily wear to more ornate versions for Eid and family gatherings.
What to look for in a men's djellaba?
- The hood: The pointed qob is the hallmark of the djellaba. It protects against sun and wind.
- The fabric: Cotton and light weaves for summer, thicker wool-like fabrics for winter.
- The length: A djellaba falls to or just above the ankle. Too long can hinder walking.
- The occasion: A plain model is for daily wear; a version with embroidery around the neck is suitable for Eid and ceremonies.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a djellaba and a jabador?
A djellaba is a single long garment with a hood. A jabador is two-piece: a tunic with matching trousers, without a hood. The jabador is more often worn for festive occasions, while the djellaba is more versatile for daily use.
Which size should I choose?
The djellaba is loose-fitting, so your usual size is usually sufficient. Pay particular attention to the length in the size chart: this determines whether the garment falls to the ankle.
Can you wear a djellaba all year round?
Yes, provided you adapt the fabric to the season. Light cotton models are suitable for summer, while thicker versions keep you warm in winter.
How do I wash a djellaba?
Follow the washing instructions on the label. Plain cotton models can usually be machine washed at a low temperature; embroidered versions are preferably hand-washed to protect the embroidery.
