"Suddenly Faisal asked me if I would wear Arab clothes like his own while in the camp [...] I agreed at once, very gladly; for army uniform was abominable when camel-riding or when sitting about on the ground." – T. E. Lawrence, from his book 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom'
T. E. Lawrence, or Lawrence of Arabia was infamous for his scruffy appearance when in the British Khaki uniform, and wore it as little as possible. However, Lawrence took on quite a different guise when his friend King Faisal of Iraq suggested he dress in his set of Arab wedding clothes.
Eugene Rogan is a Professor of Modern Middle Eastern History at the University of Oxford.
