Djellaba
Not on view
In Morocco, the most common article of male dress is the jellaba, a long- or short-sleeved hooded robe slit at the front, back and sides. It is made from either imported or locally produced cloth, the weight of which varies according to the season. Like the caftan, it is intended to hide the form of the body. Contemporary designers such as Juicy Couture have created narrower versions that emphasize the verticality and muscularity of the male form. By using leisure and sportswear materials like terrycloth, Juicy Couture has retained the ease and comfort of the more expansive jellaba.
