When was George Orwell born?
George Orwell
His dress sense was unpredictable and usually casual.[202] In Southwold, he had the best cloth from the local tailor[203] but was equally happy in his tramping outfit. His attire in the Spanish Civil War, along with his size-12 boots, was a source of amusement.[204][205] David Astor described him as looking like a prep school master,[206] while according to the Special Branch dossier, Orwell's tendency to dress "in Bohemian fashion" revealed that the author was "a Communist".[207]
