Sure! Here are my headwraps. The bases are maroon, black, red, and navy:

They are a decent quality considering they came out of the third world. In my opinion, the textiles from the rural areas are nicer because they are traditionally dyed and woven and the little imperfections just feel more authentic. The headwraps are from my father's region in the capital (metro area) while my loin cloths are from my mother region in the rural north. Here's my loincloth draped over a tribal shield, also from my mother's region:

Lol! Jokes. The wrap dimensions range from 22" to 24" so pretty much the same as a large Western bandana. The folding pattern is one of many the islanders use:

1. Open diamond:

2. Mountain folds on bottom half to form horn:

3. Fold horn up

4. Roll up once to start the headband:

5. Roll up again to finish headband:

Tie that around your head and tuck the large triangle into the knot to create the bonnet. Or, you can do a variation where you make a horn out of both sides of the wrap:

Well, funny thing about autocorrect.
It will add a u in that and tries to correct color into colour... Iphones...


No hat today. If there would be a thread show us your German style crown braid I'd be all over that.

Happy weekend guys!!

I like the way you color coordinate your hat with your shower curtain.

Excellent lid, Ant! Your Saturdays always seem to be pedal to the metal. Have a great one.

Happy Saturday.

Hope that all enjoy their days.

That's a special and unique hat. Have you found out anything else about Mr. Stewart?

Have a great Saturday!

Thanks, Jim... Funny, I was just thinking that I needed to do some more digging about him. I looked a little bit when I got the hat last spring and found nothing. Then I got sidetracked by my accident and surgery. Gonna try some more.

Merry Saturday, my friend.
