Where, in the area, can my wife buy an African style turban? We've looked around and had no luck.

There's a fabric store in S. Orange - Village Plaza, next to the Hunan Garden. There are some beautiful african prints in the window and, I have a hunch the person who owns the store would be able to show your wife how to wrap the fabric. |

There's also a shop called Maplewood Mart, I believe, on Springfield Ave beyond Krauzer's (or is that 7-11??) that specializes in African-style clothing and furnishings. It seems to me that there is another African clothing store on Springfield Ave in Vauxhall/Union just west of Joe's Pizzeria. Also, there are similar shops on South Orange Ave in Irvington.

Tom, I'm an online shopping fool, so I "asked Jeeves." This site is completely devoted to headgear and turbans, African or otherwise, especially for folks experiencing hair loss and wanting a cool look... |

Thanks, everyone!
We'll lean to the physical stores, as we prefer the advantages they offer when buying clothes. Hats aren't that tricky, but I can't imagine how people can buy trousers and shoes online.

When my mother lost much of her hair after a bout with cancer, she tried a wig but it looked too stiff and artificial. A friend taught her how to drape a large, colorful scarf around her head. The look was softer than a turban and more comfortable to wear while she was bed ridden. An added plus: scarfs are easy to find and worn in many other ways once the need for a hair covering has passed. |

Tom--Here are a couple of links to give you an idea how scarves can be used as head coverings:

Tom, Is the turban for your wife really, or do YOU want to wear it? Just wondering... |

I've got my own turban, thank you very much. This will be for my wife.

The Maplewood Mart on Springfield Av beyond Quick Chek will have what you need. There's also an african clothing store on Springfield near Millburn Av. (not sure of the name). |
