The Iraqi administration has been a headscarf known to Iraqis - especially in Baghdad - decades ago, and they continue to be proud of their heritage.
Sidara was also called Faisaliah, after the king of Iraq, Faisal I (1921-1933), who wanted state officials to have a formal headscarf, other than the turban, headband and fez.
It was a symbol of the elegance of men in the past, and sung by poets and singers, most notably the singer of the late Maqam Muhammad al-Qabanji, where he said:
"O sweet, O Bo Sidara .. Mtimk Swila neighbor" (ie give him a solution).
