A man after my own heart.. Hats (or shall I say Ghutras) off to him..

The 40-year-old had an Arabic robe made in the Toon Army’s colours to cope with temperatures of up to 50C in the Gulf state of Qatar.

The traditional ‘thobe’ is complete with the Premier League club’s badge and kit sponsor Northern Rock is emblazoned on the front.

The IT teacher said he receives strange looks from locals in the south-eastern city of Mesaieed when he wears the robe to watch matches on TV.

People market throughout Newcastle began to broaden in the 1960s, since additional people were utilized in city supervision as well as Newcastle College or university.

If web design is to be a success there needs to be so much more than a few affordable images and replicate details. I preferred to talk about with you ten of the most common web design isn't able as approximated by web design professional Jakob Nielsen.seo Newcastle

• There are tailoring shops in almost every part and they are crazy enough to cut you a Thobe with the colours of the rainbow or of the Toon! So hurry up and get your full-length, long sleeved thobe.!

The best material to make an Arabian thobe and specially for the White thobes are, either cotton or a polyester mix, but some men wear darker colors in winter, and heavier materials such as wool.

I wore a Thobe on my flight from Doha to Melbourne. :P

I'm not surprised hubby won't wear it. He's probably afraid of tripping over each time he takes a step and someone comes near him :O)
