Originally, I bought this after speaking to one of my friends who happens to be from Somalia in Africa. He told me that the people who lived in his country -and other area's like his with extreme heat and occasional windstorms- use them to block the oncoming dust and sand from their eyes.
I bought one myself to see what I would look like in it.
After tying it properly and undoing it about about fifty times to model in my mirror :p I finally looked decent. One of my friends stated I looked like Rudolph Valentino, the famous movie actor.
Perfect for any occasion or a long desert trek :3
A wise choice for any adventurer or Bohemian.
