Great article! His garment can also be referred to as a thobe/thoab and is still worn in many cultures today. Some are quite ornate and stunning, while others are simple (like the black one in your article).

I work with creating textiles. I wonder how these tunics were made without seams.

There’s a few different methods suggested online. We can’t know for sure, but there are some educated guesses worth considering: it could be woven as a tube, woven in one piece and folded, woven completely on a loom, etc.
