I've got a couple. What colors are you looking for?

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

I dunno, an all-white one, or a white-and-black one. I don't think the white-and-red one is "me".

Mine is actually a shemagh in black and tan.

They sell them around here - in DC.

If you're not in a hurray, I'll have a look. In my experience, the best ones are made from Egyptian cloth. The cheaper ones fade in the wash... I know an Afghani vendor who sometimes has them - I'll take a look for you.

Curious though - why do you want it? They are terrible functional items, but you don't see many wearing them.

Purely out of a desire to provoke a response.

Well, in that case

A white tablecloth and a black magic marker should do the trick! Extra points for looking like you are going out of your way to piss folks off!

Are you looking to wear it Saudi style, or around your neck?

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

Probably Saudi style. I want people to think i'm one of the Good Guys.

Around here they seem to be all the rage among 20-something germanic-looking girls. Like Lenin t-shirts in the 70's, I suppose.

I was going to suggest Big Lots, but that would probably be interpreted as insensitive.

Wonderful, now black helicopters will be circling the Bay Area.
