It was just my attempt at imparting my impression of the caftaned dude in those pics using a bit of failed humor. Hope I didn't insult anyone too badly. It was not my intent.

Picture of me from way back in 2012:

Though this is supposed to be a costume, I think it can go here.

I Agree!!

Not for me. When it is warm I dislike long sleeves just as much as I dislike leg-tubes. Also dislike the middle eastern those that have high closed necklines. I had a similar garment made for me when I was in Morocco, but with an open shirt collar and short loose sleeves. I felt very elegant, but it was too translucent to be really useful.

The usual Moroccan garment for men in summer is a sleeveless blue foquia with a low scoop neckline decorated with elaborate embroidery. The Tunisian jebba is similar but wider and shorter, usually white. Both are very nice to wear in countries where one has to be covered however hot it becomes, but in Europe, I prefer to go without.

when it is hot that is the best time to be in a kaftan,the long sleeves are usually loose so they are not hot
but they do protect you from sun burn.
I however do have some short sleeves Kaftans too

A more "modern" one in contrast to my more "biblical" outfit in a previous post.

Nice outfit Judah, something I would like to wear. Just as an aside what has happened to Ron? Not had any posts from him for a long while.

He still seems to be somewhat active, at least over at flickr. So, he's out there.

I thought you must have been a singer too; reaching an equally high note.

My brother wore something similar when he married his first wife about 45 years ago.
