Where to get good head scarfs?

[tiberiusflynn]

Anyone know where to get some good head scarfs? I've been looking in many places and have yet to find one that is exactly what I'm looking for.

I want one thats 40x40 that can go around my head and have a good amount hanging in the back. The one I wear right now I found at target, but its actually a scarf that isn't square....

any suggestions?

for a square that big, have you thought about making it?  you could make a tiny hem on the edges.

Honestly all of mine are from China.  That said I have seen some interesting scarves in the women's section at the local Target.  Now these are silk and often intended for the ladies to wrap them about the shoulders.  They look like the silk scarves I have from China.

 I have gotten the best all silk scarves at thrift shops! Vintage and silk looks good and is comfortable too!!

When I was going through chemo, my sister had some made at a sari shops like this.  Keep a sharp eye out at estate sales and check eBay.

Actually,   I have a ton of scarves that I found at the flea market,  at the Asian shops.  They come in crates and are very inexpensive.   Sometimes I give them away as favors.

LOL!!! Thats awesome.

Well, I've seen some good ones at Target, I just want something that no one else can get down the way....

I have one Jack Sparrow replica which is 40x40 and it works well, I just don't want a sparrow replica. So, then I purchased a decent one from centerstagecostumes.com and its nice but not as long as I want it. So the other one I have is from Target and its great...but its not square....its a long rectangle which doesn't tie just right on me head...

So, I'll try some thrift stores...and maybe ebay.

All of mine are leftover from home made chemises.  What could be easier than cutting a square?  If you want the edges hemmed and don't sew yourself, I suspect just about any dry cleaners that does repairs could do a rolled hem for you.  Not sure what the cost would be, but it would make for a truly custom scarf! 
Happy hunting!
