Hey there! Oh man, your channel is a gem. I'm a Lebanese born and raised in the US. I've always enjoyed learning about the European medieval life and it was taught in schools pretty prevelantly. But I wanted to know more about my side of the world, and found the mainstream resources less available. Anyways, fast forward to finding your channel and I'm in nerd heaven. On top of the great info you present, its also very professionally done with great care. I'm so excited to dive more into this info. Kudos to you brother, you should be proud of these fantastic videos!
I'm writing a fantasy series in a world heavily inspired by arab cultures during this approximate time. My husband is Arab himself, but unfortunately hasn't had a lot of education about it, and hasn't been able to help me much, so thanks a lot for the help.
Fantastic! Textile trade from the Arab world to Eruope was prolific, Europe sought silks and cottons and the Arab world sought European wool and linen. Obviously Italy was the epicenter of this trade which is why you see Arabic influences in Itaian fashions.
Absolutely, textile trade was so important for the medieval economy. Italy seemed to be intertwined with the Arab world as well as Spain. Thanks for your insight on this!
Oh wow... I have been wanting to know these topics in boring detail but I couldn't find it anywhere. It's so rare to find stuff like this. Tysm! Do you recommend further readings or videos on the subject?
Bro that was a really interesting and informative video to watch. Keep it up! Future video requests: can you do a video on the different types of rings and their “benefits” so to speak.
الحمد ايالله! I've been trying to find RUclips channels that cover non-European history for ages, especially ones that cover things like daily life, and not just military history! Please keep up the good work ما شاء الله!
Awesome! I would like to se more of this from different centuries, because for me it's difficult to distinguish Arab fashion from the 8th century to one from the 15th century and there is not much on this topic.
This entire time I was dressing up in regular shirts and jeans and for some reason just didnt feel comfortable, but when i saw the Arabian garments, turbans and etc I just felt more muslims than before I dont know how i can explain it but I think its because the prophet PBUH himself used to dress up in Thobes/Qamees and wore turbans
Levant are not Arabs but arabnised also you have to differentiate between Ethnic The people of the desert regions of the arabian peninsula Yemen, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. (2) Arabized people groups : Levantic people groups such as Syrians, Jordanians, Palestinians, Iraq, Lebanese and so forth. These people groups originally had their own languages, until the Arab invasion of their lands and with Islamization, they became Arabized gradually by adopting Arabic . But are genetically different
@@nooraqueen2716 That is 100% wrong. You sound like a racist gulf Arab. DNA evidence proves that the levant and Iraq have higher percentages of Arabic DNA than the gulf. I can send you a link to the study. We are all Arabs, stop trying to undermine us with your bigoted statements.
@@greatarabia8091 levant abs North Africa are not Arab they are arabnised! Arabs come from Arabian pensuila Now most people would say that the Muslim invasions have ended the old civilizations and peoples who were replaced by Arab people and Arabic language. The Arabs were a minority, they did not have the huge populations of Levant, Egypt or Mesopotamia, a city like Constantinople would have had more people than most of the Arabian Peninsula. Having these people replaced by ethnic Arabs in 2000 years is impossible, for reference the entire peninsula is barely hitting 50 Million including Yemen. North Africa and the Levantine are at 349 million So the people who had lived there for at least 5000 years have not been the exact same, but they did not have enough diverting genes to make them that whole lot different from Europeans. Many Levantine people would have a somewhat white skin and soft hair akin to the Turks who came later and mixed with the locals.
Where can I get these pieces? Looking to put together an Abassid era soldier kit. I can find armor and helmets but where can I get the regular clothes?
Just to let you know the cloth draped over shoulders or the head, here it was green, indicates if you are a descendant of the prophet, this is continued to this day in the Shia community. However if you are a shia seminary student you would wear a black turban if you're a descendant of the prophet or a white turban if you're not, this is also continued to this day.
What makes this perfect is you have the perfect kind of beard that the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) encouraged his followers to have I.E. groomed beard and trimmed mustache and the fact that you also have long hair that reached to your ears, just like the prophet himself.
If only arab nowadays wore what they predecessors used to wear, it would be fantastic..nowadays they are wearing the ghitra which is a pain when it comes to Salah.
This video is not entirely correct, ancient Arabs did not really dress that differently than modern Gulf Arabs. The turban he shows in the video was only worn in Hejaz where the prophet came from.
@@GreaterAfghanistanMovement you are wrong,The ancient Arabs used to wear the turban and the robes, but what the people of the Gulf wear today came from the peoples of Mesopotamia, and there are clay tablets showing the peoples of Mesopotamia wearing the shemagh and the headband
@@gilgamesh-antara Newsflash! Arabs originally came from around Iraq and Syria before moving into Arabia thousands of years ago. And the people you are seeing are Semitic delegates visiting the Sumerian king. So the headdress belonged to the Semites not Mesopotamians. Turbans in Arabia came from Persia and were only worn in Hejaz due to heavy trade with Persia and India. That is why you will never seen someone from a different region ever wearing a turban.
Hi! Thanks for the content! Super helpful. Can you tell me how is the vertex of the v neck in the undershirt? How is it fixed from behind? It appears that the upper side is sewed to the collar but the vertex down side where is it tight to? Or it isn't... THANKS!!
Hello!!! Great video and info. I'm huge fan of Middle Age Europe and world. I hope get lucky and may be you or someone in your community can help: I'm writing about hashshashins for a fiction project, I would like to know more about the "ninja" kind of suit they used to were. I talking about the persian secret lethal force fighting in the cruzades and also at the sunii vs chiita earliest conflicts. I wish to know the name of the top, button and over-all elements, and matherials even if it is not very specific or accurate to have a general idea. Thank you very much! Saludos desde México.
More accurately would be a shirt and pants. The shirt was longer and hung below the weist. Maybe below the bum. And the pants was more like Aladin style pants. They would wear this because they were either on Camel back or horse back. So it wouldn't make sense to wear a long thobe because then the thobe would tear when mounting the Camel. They would wear an outer garment yes. Also turban yes. And stick yes. Shoes was mostly saddles. Tailor made sandles was for the rich like mus'ab ibn umair before I he accepted Islam.
What you described is Shalvar Kameez which is traditional Afghan clothing worn in Afghanistan & Pakistan. Arabs did not wear this but the traditional standard thobe common throughout Arabia. Also, you don't ride a camel the same you ride a horse.
@@ChromeMan04 Oh really ?! And how do you think they could ride a horse or a camel without something that functions as a trousers or pants or slacks ?!! I read your comments (not just yours but all the rest including the channel owner and you make me laugh). Any way . . the videos is not accurate enough. Arabs did not wear layers over layers in Arabia obviously because of the weather. They would though in winter and in regions where the climate is coolers. Arabians of the middle ages are as smart as anyone. Why would they suffocate themselves with all these cloths?! Besides many of them were poor and did not have many pieces of garment to wear. You guys need to read Islamic history. As for you owner of the channel, you are not doing proper research before you make your videos. Its a shame that none Arabs watch your channel and they believe whatever you are claiming it to be true and factual. Shame on you if you are indeed as you claim to be an Arab!! Shame !!
@@DonCaprioni bruh you are insane. Arabs were not originally horse riders but camel riders and nomads. Why would they need pants? They wore robes like a thobe which modern Saudis wear and it’s better suited for the desert climate. Pants were invented in Central Asia by the Aryans and wore often wore in semi arid or colder climates.
@@GreaterAfghanistanMovement thobe and gutra is the new traditional clothes, arabs before wore this and it’s an arab thing so many proves about this do you think the prophet wore thobe and gutra🤣.. the persians took it after they became muslim but it isnt their culture
@@axr7943 Yes the prophet would wear a thobe on Eid and majority of Arabs during his time were nomadic Bedouins who would wear a ghutra because its more suitable for desert climate. You Semites need to stop stealing Aryan culture and clothing all the time. Stick to your thawb and Ghutra.
@@axr7943 "arab thing" lol. People in Central Asia and North Africa have been wearing turbans way before they had any interaction with Arabs and the Persians have had a culture before Islam. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did wear a thobe on special occasions like Eid but the majority of Arabia at the time was nomadic and they wore the ghutra because its more suitable for desert climate. Just stop arabizing cultures that don't belong to you!
as an artist researching medieval arabic clothing, i am heavily grateful for this video thank you!
Any way I can see your work?
Personally I like the old Arabian clothes better than the modern one
I agree!
Same here as an Arab

Could You do, please, a more detailed video about the turban? Size of the cloth and how to tie it.
Mashalah brother, can you do a video about diet next?
I will put it on the list for sure!
Good video👍
Thanks!
Afghan, baloch and Mauritanian dress code is most closest to medieval Arab dress

Sure, I bought them from wish.com
