There are many styles of course. I prefer the sharp look.

I'll take a picture of one I've JUST gotten tailored.

As for fabrics, white's are not just whites, they have different feelings, slight patterns, and shades.

I prefer a greenish white rather than a beige or bluish for example.

Thobes are indeed very comfortable.

Ask the tailor for their best fabric and they'll do the rest and ask you what you want.
It'll cost 200 riyals (around that)

Remember, you need some nice sandals (I recommend Tamimi)
Some sirwal (the pants underneath the thobe)
A Fanila (white vest)
Ghitra and 3igal (the headress which is bought seperately. There are places in the Old Souk)
Ga7feeya (little cap underneath the headress to keep it from slipping)

Alot of people don't wear the headress though.
