As far as I knew, Lawrence of Arabia was an old historical movie name. I never thought it was based on a true story about how east and west crossed hundreds of years ago. It would've been so much more interesting to me to watch and/or read about!
Furthermore, I was discussing how my dad never wore a shemagh.. And how he always wore a ghotrah, I always thought it was so khaliji of my dad. Plus, it's cooler in the summer, it looks better and he cares about his looks :P
Anyways, someone told me the sad truth! Still, I didn't find anything that agreed with that fact (as in written proof of this story) but I’ll tell u guys anyways; Lawrence was having some bawin visitors, and he didn't want to feel as an outsider between them or something, so he took out his table spread (EL SOFRAH!) which was red and white, and put it on his head!!! LOL
This is one of the weirdest stories about a tradition yet!
And in the end, i gotta say; I am happy seeing Sting wearing it! I love how the koffyah is now a big fashion trade mark!! :D
Would you wear the shimagh now? ;)
