The word in question is most likely "thawb" (ثوب), which means "clothing" but is often used specifically to refer to the long flowing white robes worn by Arabian men. In many dialects of Arabic, the "th" sound has been lost and replaced by a simple "t" sound, which is why the word heard was probably "tawb" instead of "thawb".
