So, I'm doing some research on costuming and character ideas for the next larp I plan on playing, which involves a lot of scouring of the Interwebs

Some of them, I can see, given there's no mistaking some of the Islamic versions for anything but what they are. Others, though? If there is NO way to tell the difference between a kerchief/hijab/tichel/dikhlo because, frankly, there IS no difference except in the reason it's being worn... So bizarre.
I have to admit, though, reading up on them does make me miss wearing one. I used to pretty regularly when I was younger (my maternal line is half Polish with a heavy rumor of Rom heritage; not surprised that scarf-wearing is common on that side), but stopped because I'd get picked on in school for it. I may start again, if I can find some nice ones.

I have different things from when I lost all my hair from chemo. This is Florida. Too damn hot. I rarely wore them anyways.
