Litham

 * ... that among the Tuareg people, men traditionally wear a veil called litham or tagulmust, while women go unveiled? Source: "Women go unveiled, whereas men are expected to wear the traditional mouth veil, the litham or tagulmust, that covers the entire face except the eyes." Twareg, Oxford Encyclopedia of the Modern World (paywall))
 * ALT1:... that in One Thousand and One Nights women use a veil called litham to disguise themselves as men? Source: "The litham was therefore also sometimes worn as a deliberate disguise by people who did not usually wear it; thus in the 1001 Nights (ed. Macnaghten, i, 878) it is worn by a princess who disguises herself as a man, and (ibid., ii, 59) by a woman for similar reasons." Litham, Encyclopedia of Islam (paywall)
