Seriously, why is he wearing it - what's the point? Is he balding or something?

Even the French chef mentioned he looked like yasser arafat, monsiour arafat i think i heard him say.

Plus I hope MPW has more than one of those scarves - it can't be hygeinic surely.

oh come off its an arabian design worn by arabs all over the middle east since before the time of the prophet.

As I've said many times before i've extensively travelled in that region.

the style in which marco is wearing it is very middle eastern. Im not saying that troops don't wear it, they may well do, but its for the same reasons as tha arabs - to keep the sun off their heads.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keffiyeh

'Its distinctive woven check pattern originated in an ancient Mesopotamian(ancient Iraq) representation of either fishing nets or ears of grain.'

Maybe it's in support of our troops then? If that's the case it's rather nice or if it's because his son gave to him that's also a nice reason to wear it
