I've always thought they were called "Kaftans".

Those middle east styled scarves, big square/rectangular things with tassles on the end.

Kinda H.G.T.G / D.Adams feel about them, like a frood who knows where is towel is.


Anyways, mine has seen better days. I can't seem to find anymore on eBay. When I search for caftan or kaftan, I just get clothes.

Anyone know what these things are called, and where to buy them? I've never actually bought one before, they've just been given to me as gifts.

We just call them "arabs" on my friend's trade stall, and we sell them at £4 apiece.

I like them as they have more bulk round the back of your neck where the draughts get in.
