Thobe:
A thawb is an Arab garment mainly worn by inhabitants of the Middle East and North Africa. The thawb is long-sleeved ankle-length traditional robe; it is worn by men and women with regional variations in name and style. Depending on local traditions, a thawb can be worn in formal or informal settings; in the Gulf states thobes are the main formal attire for men. It is also worn by Muslim men in the Indian subcontinent due to its modest appearance, and is believed to be a sunnah, and it is commonly referred to as a jubbah there. [Wikipedia]

Both Hitler and Mussolini featured traditional ethnic dress in their propaganda displays. The undertone isn’t comic, nor is it meant to be respectful. It’s a fascistic appeal to nostalgia and nativistic impulses. https://t.co/NaVf7cNE36
