What were the robes in Defending Your Life?

Worn by Albert Brooks and Meryl Streep, I believe they were called toupas or something like that. I’ve wondered from time to time if they are available to buy and couldn’t find any just like them on the net. Anyone remember them and know where they might be found?

Mabe they are thawbs/thobes? It’s a traditional long sleeved ankle length, over the head, robe commonly worn in the Middlke East.

Classic men’s thobes for sale.

Cool thanks. It’s not those but those look good and affordable.

Well, maybe it was those with a sash Link

and this is listed as a robe from that movie. Called a Tuba which I thought was a big horn. Go figure.

I think they mean “jubah” (or “jubbah”).
