5k a year for clothes that one wears regularly is not extravagant... You're getting 12 regularly used dresses for the 5k and I feel that is reasonable; there are tacky and tasteless t-shirts going for 500 rials in any of the fashion outlets so 5k for a year's supply of classy looking custom tailored thobes is perfectly acceptable...I personally would love to wear a sexy black thobe but the arabs/locals might mistake me to be Arab and speak to me in Arabic and then laugh when they realize my Arabic language fluency is intermediate at best :-)
