A kerchief (from the French couvre-chef, "cover the head") is a triangular or square piece of cloth tied around the head or around the neck for protective or decorative purposes. The popularity of head kerchiefs may vary by culture or religion, as among Amish women, Orthodox Jewish women, Muslim women, and older Slavic women. A "handkerchief" or "hanky" primarily refers to a napkin made of cloth, used to dab away perspiration, clear the sinuses, or, in Victorian times, as a means of flirtation. A woman could intentionally drop a dainty square of lacy or embroidered fabric to give a favored man a chance to pick it up as an excuse to speak to her while returning it. Handkerchiefs were sometimes scented to be used like a nosegay or tussy-mussy, a way of protecting those who could afford them from the obnoxious scents in the street. A bandanna or bandana (from the Hindi. बन्धन bandhana, "to tie") is a type of large, usually colorful, kerchief, usually worn on the head. Bandannas are frequently printed in a paisley pattern. Bandannas are worn as a practical garment by.

Bandannas in particular colors are also worn as a means of communication or identification, as with the prominent California criminal gangs, the Bloods, the Crips, the Norteños, and the Sureños or in sexual subcultures in the United States. In the late 1980s/early 1990s, the Bloods and the Crips, wore red or blue paisley bandanas as a signifier of gang affiliation.

In addition the Company has conventional oil and gas exploration interests in the Cooper Basin of South Australia and Queensland and mineral exploration licences, primarily for oil shale in Queensland. Formerly known as Enterprise Energy Limited, in early October 2008 the Company completed a transaction involving the acquisition of the issued capital of Bandanna Coal Pty Ltd, a capital raising and a 1 for 10 share consolidation. The name change to Bandanna Energy Limited reflected the future emphasis on coal, the Bandanna Formation being a well known coal bearing geological unit within the Bowen Basin. Key projects of the Company include The Dingo West Project, in EPC 881, where a subsidiary of Macarthur Coal Limited (Macarthur Coal) is currently earning up to a 70% interest through a farmin. Upon successful completion of the farmin Bandanna will retain a 30% interest in the Dingo West Project, including marketing rights for its share of any produced coal. Alpha Project area (EPCs 1048, 1049, 1179 and 1180) where the international coal company AMCI is earning up to a 50% interest by funding up to $25 million of exploration. The Springsure Creek Project (EPC 891) where the Company has already delineated a significant raw thermal coal resource. A new Board, Chaired by Jeremy Barlow, is committed to making Bandanna a strong mid-tier player within the coal and energy sectors of the ASX. The ASX code is.

THE COLORS OF BANDANNAS I ORDERED WERE NOT THE COLORS I RECEIVED. THE INVOICE SENT WITH THE BANDANNAS DID NOT CONFIRM THE COLORS I ORDERED SO I DID NOT HAVE PROFF THAT SEVERAL ERRORS WERE MADE, BUT I KNOW WHAT I ORDERED. I WAS CONCERNED AFTER PLACING THE ORDER BECAUSE THE COLORS WERE NOT STATED ON THE CHECKOUT PAGE, BUT SINCE I HAD ORDERED THEM BEFORE, I THOUGHT THERE WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM.

The bandannas were purchased to make a quilt. My Grandmother was very happy that the item could even be found and the speed of delievry.

I bought 3 of these, and the colors were not true to the images presented. For example, the blue is nowhere near as brilliant, nor is the purple. But beyond this, they immediately frayed at the edges after one washing. I found bandanas for $1.99 each at Walmart, and those are much better quality, plus no exorbitant shipping charge. I'm giving this 2 stars since there is a large selection, but if you just need basic colors, go to Walmart or elsewhere. I will not buy these online again.

Stay away These bandanas are garbage. After one washing they're falling apart. I've used paper towels that hold together better than this trash.

Great product Its a bandana my daughter used as a napkin on a camping trip. What can be said about a bandana? It is what it is. Nice color, great price.

Good buy! Received the product in good condition and promptly. The bandanas are good quality and I was able to pick out alot of different colors. Thanks!

Good Quality - Good Price I bought two of these paisley bandanas and am very satisified. Good, reasonable price, and so far - good quality.

I wear bandana's pretty much year round and also use them for other various things, from tying things together when backpacking to making yourself visible on the road when riding a bike, these things come in handy. The main thing here is the price.your not going to beat this price by buying them at a truck stop or shopping center. Truly a great deal and what would you expect for a great product!

I ordered 6 of these in different colors and am taking them on a mission trip to India. They look awesome and feel good too. They are good to wear over your head after not showering for many days due to being in a village without running water. Also good for wiping sweat and wearing around your neck to block sun and waht not. The different color bandanas seeem to be different sizes but still pretty similar in size. They are great products =)

These are high quality bandanas. Well made, with rich, vibrant colors. What I like the most is the paisley pattern is printed on both sides, so no matter how you wear it it will still look good. One-sided 'danas look sloppy and worn out unless you carefully tie it around your forehead (or wherever you happen to wear it). Also, the patterns are well aligned - not off center. I will definitely order from these guys again. Incidentally, I did try a slightly cheaper bandana seller on Amazon, but considering shipping is free with this one the price difference is negligible - and you get a higher quality product (and faster shipping!). Rather than testing out a few companies like I did, just go straight away with these guys.

Like i thought. This is a good product. You really can't expect much from it because its only a bandana, but they are good for tying your hair up.

Wash before you wear . . . I hope. I was looking for a few bandanas to use as sweat bands when I go to the gym. So, when I received the black, pink, and white bandanas in the mail, I didn't think to wash them.

Edges Frayed Easily I bought 20 bandannas recently, and immediately threw them in the wash. After they came out, the majority of the bandannas had frayed edges.

Good deal when bought in bulk! These bandanas are all fresh and the colors are exactly as shown. They are good quality and the price is good when you buy 12 or more of them (free shipping).

Bandana is excellent! I was very happy with my bandana, it was the classic Paisley pattern in black. I needed a new one to cover my face when I snowboard and this one is great!

1. First you will need a bandanna (duh!). Depending on the size of your head we have found that a square of material (a soft cotton is best) about 60 cms (24 inches) square is about right. Lay your bandanna out somewhere flat.

2. Fold a single corner of your bandanna over, so that the corner point is resting roughly in the centre of the square of material (ie aligned horizontally with the two side corners). Note. we have found that this is the best method of folding, however the smaller the amount of fold then the bigger the final bandanna size will be (ie the more fabric you will then have to stretch over your head) and of course vice versa. So it really depends on the size of the unfolded bandanna and the size of your head!

3. Hold the folded bandanna at either side of the folded edge and place the folded edge along your forehead at the height you wish. It may help to bend forwards at this point, as shown in the photograph below.

4. Moving your hands outwards towards the two side corners, pull them towards the back of your head. You can straighten up at this point, (which leaves the bottom corner of the bandanna forwards over your face and so making the next step a bit easier to do).

5. Then simply using the two side corners tie a single knot only at the back of your head, making sure it is tight enough so the bandanna is firmly tied but not uncomfortably tight!

7. Finally, tie another single knot, but this time over the bottom corner. This effectively catches the bottom corner of your bandanna inside the knot, making sure the bandanna stays on your head.

You can then adjust the tightness of the front of the bandanna by pulling on the bottom corner flap and tightening the knot at the back. If you have enough material you can also tie a further single knot with the two side corners to make sure the bandanna is firmly secured.

Alternatively a slightly easier way to tie the bandanna. after completing step 3.4. Pull the two side corners to the back, making sure the bottom corner is lying flat against the back of your neck this time.5. Tie the two corners in a double knot above the bottom corner at the tightness that is comfortable for you. That's all there is to it! Except to say a big thanks to Chris Derrick for taking the photos!

Bandanna is an English language opera in a prologue and two acts by Daron Hagen, first performed by the The University of Texas at Austin opera theater in Austin, February 25, 1999. The libretto is by Irish poet Paul Muldoon. The story of the Venetian Moor is recast and updated to 1968 by combining elements of the original Venetian story, William Shakespeare's Othello, Giuseppe Verdi's opera Otello, and new, original characters and situations. The opera's unifying concept is the idea of the borderlines between emotional, metaphysical and moral states.

Miguel Morales (Othello) is the police chief of a small town on the USA-Mexico border. His lieutenant Jake (Iago) is spiriting people across the border illegally. Kane (a Caucasian labor organizer from Chicago) is stirring up trouble. The action centers on the wedding of Jake and Emily (Emilia), the unfortunate planting of Mona's bandanna by Kane and Jake in Cassidy's (Cassio) pocket, and the subsequent murder of Mona by her husband.

The border town. Day of the Dead celebrations are in full swing. Mona and Emily talk about Emily's impending wedding, and how Morales won't forgive Mona's recent marital infidelity. Cassidy, Jake, and Kane are introduced. Jake fears Morales is on to his illegal activities. Cassidy seethes with racial hatred. Kane observes that much mischief can come of such a situation. A fistfight breaks out, is interrupted by the arrival of Morales, who has Cassidy arrested. The crowd disperses. Later, Morales and his wife attempt a reconciliation. Jake expresses how much he hates living a double life, but that he feels morally bound to help the people he is bringing across the border. Kane convinces Jake that, by planting Mona's bandanna on Cassidy, they'll be able to drive Morales into destroying himself. The next morning, Kane's labor rally is broken up by Morales and his men. Jake is exposed by one of the workers and realizes that he has no choice but to plant the bandanna. While Jake and Morales recall their service together in Vietnam, Jake pulls out the bandanna, which has the intended effect. Morales vows that, if what Jake is saying is true, he'll kill Mona.

A few days later, Jake and Emily's wedding is in full swing. Over the course of a handful of formal dance numbers, Jake and Kane arrange for Cassidy and Mona to end up dancing. Morales loses control, lunges at the couple. Mona flees. The wedding guests having left, Kane finds himself alone with a young serving girl from the local cantina. He seduces her, but, at the last moment, decides that physical consummation is irrelevant. His work here is done. He leaves. A few weeks later, Emily brings groceries to Mona who has been hiding out in a cheap hotel room. Morales has been stalking her. The two women discuss what to do next. Mona seems to realize that it is only a matter of time before her husband finds her and kills her. After Emily leaves, Mona says her prayers and drifts off to sleep. Morales silently breaks into the room, strangles Mona with the bandanna, then shoots Jake as he responds to Mona's cry. realizing what he has done, Morales turns the pistol on himself. As the shot rings out, a chorus of 'Disappeared and Dispossessed' sings a requiem for Mona.

Recasts the tragedy of Othello as the story of Miguel Morales, Latino police chief of a tiny town straddling the Texas-Mexico border, his wife Mona, her girlfriend Emily, two of his officers, Jake and Cassidy, and Kane, a corrupt union organizer. Jake, who is resentful of Cassidy's advancement over him, is playing a dangerous double-role as policeman and guide to successive groups of illegal immigrant workers. With the encouragement of Kane, Jake determines to convince Morales that his wife, Mona, is having an affair with Cassidy. Mona's bandanna falls into the wrong hands, jealousy provokes Miguel to strangle her with it, shoot Jake, and ultimately, himself. The curtain falls on this desolate scene.

AUDIO. Bandanna Energy Limited (ASX.BND)(formerly Enterprise Energy Limited) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the transaction previously announced to the market on 7 May 2008. The transaction entailed acquisition of all the issued share capital of Bandanna Coal Pty Ltd, a 1 for 10 consolidation of shares, a capital raising of A$10 million and a change of company name, following shareholder approval on 15 September 2008. The new Chairman of Bandanna Energy Limited ("Bandanna") Mr Jeremy Barlow said that this marks the beginning of an exciting time for the Company which now has transformed itself into a significant mid-tier coal explorer holding a portfolio of valuable development and exploration coal assets in the Bowen and Galilee Basins in Queensland. Outlook"We look forward to developing the near term coal production potential in the highly prospective portions of the Bowen Basin of Queensland" said Jeremy Barlow. "The Company expects the demand for coal internationally to remain robust. The Company intends to maintain its innovative approach to tenement acquisition, run an efficient exploration program and look for new joint venture opportunities".Although Bandanna Energy's focus has shifted to coal exploration, it maintains interests in a number of petroleum exploration licences, mostly located in the Cooper Basin in South Australia and Queensland, namely PEL 88, PEL 100, PEL 106, ATP 549P and ATP 539P. Resumption of trading - new ASX Code (BND)Following completion of the Transaction the Company now expects the suspension of its shares to be lifted, and trading on ASX to resume, later this week (subject to the Company complying with all ASX conditions for reinstatement). The new ASX Code will be BND. Board changes and change of nameAs part of the transaction David Graham and Robert Johansen have been appointed non-executive Directors, and Norman Zillman, Mark Elliott and David Lindh have resigned from the Board of Bandanna Energy. Ray Shaw has moved from his previous role as Executive Chairman, to fill the new role of Managing Director. Chairman Jeremy Barlow, who is well known and widely respected in the coal industry, was formerly a principal of the Barlow Jonker consulting group, and was a founding director of CH4 Gas Ltd. He is currently also a non-executive director of Arrow Energy Ltd. The Company has changed its name from 'Enterprise Energy Ltd' to 'Bandanna Energy Ltd', to reflect its new focus on coal exploration, the Bandanna Formation being a geological unit in the Bowen Basin well known for its coal bearing potential. Capital consolidationAs part of the Transaction the Company has also implemented the 1 for 10 capital consolidation, previously approved by Shareholders. Trading on the ASX will commence on a post-consolidation basis. Restricted securitiesThe consideration for the purchase of 100% of the issued shares in Bandanna Coal was the issue of 301,875,006 ordinary shares (post capital consolidation), to the vendors of Bandanna Coal. Each of those vendors is restricted from trading those shares for periods of either 12 months or 24 months, with the majority of those shares (approximately 80%) subject to a 24 month restriction period.

A bandanna-type article of wearing apparel is fabricated from an integral piece of fabric folded in a manner to have forward and back panels of substantially triangular shape and an intervening pocket region. The configuration of the article is such that its upper edge is essentially the base of a triangle, and a downwardly directed apex constitutes the lower extremity of the forward panel. Tying ears extend from both extremities of the upper edge. A sheet of compliant thermally insulative material such as a polyurethane sponge is held by sewn seams within the pocket region.

Having thus described my invention, what is claimed is. 1. A bandanna-type article of wearing apparel comprising. a) an integral piece of fabric having. 1) a forward panel of substantially triangular shape having front and rear surfaces, convergent side edges that meet in a downwardly directed apex, and a substantially straight base edge having opposed extremities from which short angled edges extend downwardly to meet said side edges to form lateral apices, said base edge disposed opposite said downwardly directed apex in a manner causing said forward panel to have a line of symmetry that intersects said downwardly directed apex and perpendicularly bisects said base edge, 2) a back panel disposed upon the rear surface of said forward panel adjacent said base edge and formed as a continuous integral extension of said forward panel by virtue of the rearward folding of said piece of fabric, said back panel being disposed in parallel relationship to said forward panel and defining therewith a pocket region, and 3) elongated tying ears outwardly emergent from said lateral apices as continuous integral extensions of said forward panel and formed by the gathering and sewing of said piece of fabric, and b) a sheet of compliant thermally insulative material disposed within said pocket region and elongated upon a center axis parallel to said base edge and intersecting said lateral apices. 2. The article of wearing apparel of claim 1 wherein said integral piece of fabric is comprised of hydrophilic fiber. 3. The article of wearing apparel of claim 2 wherein said hydrophilic fiber is cotton. 4. The article of wearing apparel of claim 1 wherein the thermally insulative material is of rectangular configuration and is sewn within the pocket region by stitching that penetrates forward and back panels and the intervening insulative material. 5. The article of wearing apparel of claim 1 wherein said insulative material is comprised of cellular foam fabricated of a synthetic resilient polymer. 6. The article of wearing apparel of claim 5 wherein said resilient polymer is polyurethane.

1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to an article of wearing apparel, and more particularly concerns a bandanna-type product which may be used to shield the wearer's face and neck from cold wind, sunlight and dust. 2. Description of the Prior Art Conventional handkerchief scarfs, commonly called bandannas, in the usual form of squares or rectangles, are formed from thin fabrics of silk, cotton, rayon or the like which may be characterized as being of a limp and thin nature. Such bandannas are often used as a facial covering to protect the wearer's face from cold and wind and to filter dust out of inhaled air. However, due to the thin nature of the material, the bandanna provides very little insulating quality in cold temperatures, and little barrier in strong winds. Furthermore, such bandannas have little or no stiffness and, when used as a facial protective covering, do not lend themselves to draping or shaping of the fabric to the face and neck. With the end portions of the bandanna used for tying purposes, the bandanna must closely conform to the face of the wearer and cannot be shaped to the face of a particular wearer. Strong winds often cause a conventional bandanna to be blown away from its most effective position. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cloth wearing apparel article improved with respect to protecting the wearer's face and neck against exposure to weather elements. It is another object of this invention to provide a bandanna-type wearing apparel article of the aforesaid nature formed from a limp fabric yet capable of resisting displacement in strong winds. It is a further object of this invention to provide a wearing apparel article of the aforesaid nature which can be worn in different ways for protection of the face, head or neck from the effects of weather elements. It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a wearing apparel article of the aforesaid nature of simple construction and amenable to economical manufacture. These objects and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description.

The above and other beneficial objects and advantages are accomplished in accordance with the present invention by a bandanna-type article of wearing apparel comprising. a) an integral piece of fabric having. 1) a forward panel of substantially triangular shape having front and rear surfaces, convergent side edges that meet in a downwardly directed apex, and a substantially straight base edge having opposed extremities that meet said side edges to form lateral apices, said base edge disposed opposite said downwardly directed apex in a manner causing said forward panel to have a line of symmetry that intersects said downwardly directed apex and perpendicularly bisects said base edge, 2) a back panel disposed upon the rear surface of said forward panel adjacent said base edge and formed as a continuous integral extension of said forward panel by virtue of the rearward folding of said piece of fabric, said back panel being disposed in parallel relationship to said forward panel and defining therewith a pocket region, and 3) elongated tying ears outwardly emergent from said lateral apices as continuous integral extensions of said forward panel and formed by the gathering and sewing of said piece of fabric, and b) a sheet of compliant thermally insulative material disposed within said pocket region and elongated upon a center axis parallel to said base edge and intersecting said lateral apices. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the thermally insulative material is of rectangular configuration and is sewn within the pocket region by stitching that penetrates forward and back panels and the intervening insulative material.

For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawing. FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of the bandanna-type article of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a rear view of the embodiment of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view taken upon the line 3--3 of FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a front view of the embodiment of FIG. 1 shown in a wearing position adapted to protect the face of the wearer.

Referring to FIGS. 1-4, a bandanna embodiment of the wearing apparel article of this invention is shown comprised of forward panel 10, back panel 11, tying ears 12 outwardly emergent from said panels, and a sheet of compliant insulative material 13 disposed between said panels. The bandanna is made from a single piece of fabric, preferable of initially square shape and preferably woven of hydrophilic fiber such as cotton, silk or rayon. Such hydrophilic fibers enhance transmission of moisture, thereby minimizing perspiration accumulation on the wearer. Suitable fabrics are preferably of plain weave construction such as gingham, percale, and shantung types of fabric. The initially square piece of fabric may typically have an edge length between about 18 and 30 inches. The edges of the fabric preferably have a sewn hem or equivalent treatment to prevent unravelling. Forward panel 10 is of substantially triangular shape, having front and rear surfaces, 14 and 15, respectively and convergent side edges 16 that meet in a downwardly directed apex 17. Forward panel 10 is further bounded by substantially straight base edge 18 having opposed extremities that meet with side edges to form lateral apices 19. Base edge 18 is disposed opposite apex 17 in a manner causing said forward panel to have a line of symmetry 20 that intersects apex 17 and perpendicularly bisects base edge 18. Back panel 11 is disposed upon rear surface 15 of said forward panel, and is formed by the folding of the initial square piece of fabric rearwardly about a fold line that constitutes base edge 18. Accordingly, back panel 11 is a continuous integral extension of said forward panel, and has a triangular shape. A pocket region 21 is defined by base edge 18 and said panels. It is important to note that base edge 18 is formed above the true diagonal line that would be produced by the symmetrical folding of a square piece of fabric. Accordingly, short angled edges 28 extend between base edge 18 and lateral apices 19. The sheet of thermally insulative material 13 is held within pocket region 21 by lateral lines of sewing 22 and transverse lines of sewing 23, said lines of sewing penetrating both panels. The illustrated insulative material has a rectangular shape elongated upon a center axis 24 that is parallel to base edge 18 and intersects lateral apices 19. The rectangular shape of the insulative sheet is comprised of upper long edge 25 disposed in contact with base edge 18, lower long edge 26, and end edges 27. It is to be noted that, in the illustrated embodiment, end edges 27 are inwardly disposed from the lateral apices. Such spacing is an important feature of the invention because it enables the bandanna to be properly conformed during use. The insulative material is preferably comprised of a sheet of cellular foam made of polyurethane, neoprene or equivalent resilient polymers. In certain applications of the bandanna, closed cell foams are preferably to open celled foams. By virtue of the sheet of insulative material, and other features of construction, the bandanna can maintain a secure position when worn. Elongated tying ears 12 are outwardly emergent from lateral apices 19 as continuous integral extensions of the piece of fabric, and are formed by gathering of the fabric along lines 29 and sewing along holding lines 30. Because the tying ears are emergent from the center axis 24 of the insulative material, the position of the bandanna is highly stable when worn. If instead, the tying ears were emergent from either the upper or lower long edges of the insulative material, the positional stability of the bandanna would be lessened. FIG. 4 shows the bandanna worn in a preferred manner wherein the insulative material covers the mouth and nose of the wearer, and the tying ears are knotted behind the head. Such mode of use protects against the breathing of extremely cold air. Still further modes of wear of the bandanna are possible. While particular examples of the present invention have been shown and described, it is apparent that changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the invention in its broadest aspects.

Keep cool in the heat or just look cool all year round. All you need is a handkerchief or bandanna. First, lay the bandanna on a flat surface. Next, we will make the first fold.

By Diane Wakoski I too like to wear them, but to me they mean white trousers after a salty day at the beach, or a busy one on the boat, yanking bowlines and plying halyards, while to you, it seems, they wave like a flag on your head, impetuous, obnoxious, aggressive-- you're the bull wearing your own red flag. And who knows what has enraged you, not the color surely, for its where your eyes cant see it. I see you come in the door wearing it and sigh to myself, knowing there will be more snorting and stomping and unlike Hemingway I couldn't care less about the running of the bulls, don't see you as a challenge but a mistake, a middle class man overwhelmed by this tough Marlborough world you have been washed with through TV, and maybe even you think you recognize in me the tough Western sheriff, maybe you think you want to shoot it out, you quick and me dead. I don't know how we could be friends, though you wave that red flag at me as if perhaps you think I'm another bull, or a cow puncher who'd ride you. or perhaps its just a desperate sign of truce in your war with a world too big for you right now, too hostile, too impersonal, too uninterested in you? I guess I feel something, though not much. In my cowgirl days, I tried to rescue Sheriff Day from fascination with guns and men, and in my tight Western jeans, I married a man who followed sailors home at night. My ex-husband is a red square on THE AIDS QUILT, and Sheriff Day has disappeared into some bullring of his own while I seem now only to be charging at red flags of artistic and academic deceit. Still, I am the sailors daughter, born in the Old West, a girl who dreamed of riding silver-bridled horses and being at the yacht club with the rich. I try to stand or sit, tall and firm in my white jeans and not to let young bullfighters like you bother me very much. I like to think I have come through, survived a world of false seductions. I too, as I say, like to wear red bandannas, but to me they are like wearing the sunshine on my head or around my neck, and I didn't think anyone could look at me with my red bandanna smile, wide as the Rio Grande River on my face, which despite the summer is as white as a sailors summer uniform, and not smile back. But you didn't, and I don't know why I am surprised. If I can change, why cant the world? In the past I would have tried to win you over, seduce you into poetry or truth. But today, you've left me not smiling, and even less interested than I was before I met you in bull fights, in blood sport, less willing to smile at you or at any young matador or new sailor with my once deductive, though never dishonest, red-bandanna smile.

I wrote the first draft of Bandanna during the summer of 1997 and it represents the first real attempt on my part to meld a realist urban youth aesthetic with a sense of spiritual immanence. I had long been experimenting with drawing on themes derived from South Asia and the Middle East and trying to infuse these into a contemporary Scottish diorama, with limited success. Until Bandanna, I hadn’t really found the right tonal structure. I had been attending a writers' group in Paisley for some six years and was very fortunate because the group was packed with talented writers. Agnes Owens and then Gerrie Fellowes were the writers-in-residence when I attended and they had been preceded (before my sojourn there) by Tom Leonard and Jim Kelman. And so the members of the group included people like Graham Fulton, Marion Arnott, Margaret Fulton-Cook, Brian Whittingham and Raymond Soltysek – all of whom went on to become published and highly-regarded creative writers. The dominant voice of the group was contemporary urban realist and so for several years I was steeped in this powerful and self-consciously political idiom at a time when, as a style, it remained exciting and ebullient. But I also became conscious of the potential limitations of a single type of voice. For several years, I had been trying to write novels and in the January of that year, had had my first acceptance, by the London-based Creation Books, for the literary erotic fiction, The Snake (published in November 1997 under the pseudonym, Melanie Desmoulins). In March of the same year, I visited Pakistan and bought (literally) a case-load of books, which I proceeded voraciously to read. In South Asia, it is possible to obtain many books which are long out-of-print in the UK, tomes penned by ghostly colonial nutters and fat volumes from the hands of contemporary students undertaking PhDs on the subject of jinns. I returned to the short story genre, partly to re-charge my creative batteries, drawing on some of this illuminatory and sometimes near-psychotic material, and partly to allow myself complete freedom to experiment with a variety of styles, voices, themes and settings. I deliberately read Kelman's short stories and related works by other Scottish writers in order to imbibe almost in the manner of a method actor the appropriate sensibility. As a consequence, over a period of around eight to nine months, I penned the majority of the stories which later went to make up my anthology, The Burning Mirror (Polygon, Edinburgh, 2001). One of the stories, Rabia, later that year (1997) won 3rd Prize in the Bridport Competition. Of course, I was still working full-time in inner-city Glasgow, so I had daily access to proletarian voices, not to mention the voices of the people amongst whom I had grown up. But I adapted the 'Glasgow working-class' voices I’d heard or read to approximate more closely the 'South Asian Glasgow working-class voice', a construct into which I wanted to breathe life. Bandanna is about the redemptive, illuminatory power of music as entheogen for the altered consciousness of history. When I first read Bandanna out loud in front of a public audience, in November of 1997 at the large theatre in the Tramway, Glasgow and a year later, to a packed house in Waterstone's bookshop (the story having been accepted for publication by the ASLS in The Glory Signs, the 16th in the series of their excellent annual New Writing Scotland volumes), there was complete silence as though everyone had been rocked back on their heels. Nothing remotely like this had ever been written or spoken before. During those fifteen minutes, I sensed that I was passing through an epochal, and perhaps almost shamanic, moment in Scottish literature. Not that it was anything to do with me. I am merely a plumber of words. The moment, and the story behind it, were conjured up by a fruitful conjunction of lunacies set in Middle C. Peace. Suhayl Saadi May 2008 Read Bandanna, with Suhayl Saadi's comments for The Bottle Imp. The story opens in a new window.

True camp crafts are traditionally the kind you can use in the woods--a water jug, a sling for hauling wood, a candle lantern, or this camp pillow. Made from two bandannas, the sit-upon fits into a kid's pocket, ready to fill with grasses and leaves whenever she needs a soft place to sit for a spell--on the trail, around the campfire or in the neighborhood clubhouse.

Two bandannas, embroidery floss or yarn, embroidery needle, adhesive Velcro tab, and soft grasses, leaves or moss.

Place one bandanna on top of the other and stitch them together on three sides. On the open side, attach a Velcro tab to make a simple closure (experienced sewers might like to make a basic button-and-hole closure instead). To fill the pillow, gather the softest grasses, dead leaves and moss you can find, carefully broken into pieces small enough that they won't pierce the fabric. No woods near your house? Backyard grass clippings (preferably dried) work well. At day's end, just shake out the filling and fold up the sit-upon for the next day's adventures.

You can stitch around the very edges of your bandannas or one inch in from the edges. A whip or running stitch works fine, but if your child likes sewing, she can try a more decorative pattern or even embroider her name on one edge.

On Sept. 11, at the age of 24, Welles Crowther became a hero -- the "man in the red bandanna." us. Crowther’s family had nearly lost hope of finding his remains by the time they held a memorial service for him at the end of September. More than 1,000 people crammed the Grace Episcopal Church in Nyack, N. Y., and the street had to be closed outside to accommodate the overflow crowd and the fire trucks. "We were just ready to accept we would never hear anything" about what happened to Welles during his last hour, his mother Alison saidin thefamily home in Upper Nyack, a suburb ofNew York City. Her husband, Jefferson, joined her for this interview. "But I still had something inside of me saying, ‘keep looking, keep searching,’" Alison said. Over the next few months, she desperately scanned the television specials, hoping to catch a glimpse of her only son to get some idea of his final hours, but there was no sighting. "I just had the sense of wanting to be in there with him, to get a sense of what he was going through,"she said. Then, on May 26, The New York Times published witness accounts of the last 102 minutes before the Twin Towers fell. Jefferson, still unable to watch the horrific images on television or read the accounts of that day, handedhis wifethe newspaper, saying, "Here, you might want to read this." Allison scanned the text until her eyes stopped at the section labeled "9.05 South Tower, 78th Floor, Elevator Sky Lobby." Welles had called his mother's cell phone at 9.12 that morning, leaving a message saying he was OK. He relayed a similar message to his father’s office just before 9 a. m.Welles would have passed through the Sky Lobby on his way down to safety from the 104th floor. Alison continued reading, her heart pounding as several witnesses mentioned a young man in a red bandanna who directed the injured to nearby stairways and helped people to safety. "The second I read that, I went, ‘oh my God, there’s Welles -- there he is,’" Alison said. "I just knew it -- in my heart, I knew it." Welles, since he was a boy, almost alwayscarried a red bandanna in his pocket. His father habitually carried a blue one. That's when Alison, hoping to piece together her son’s last hour, called Judy Wein and Ling Young --two women who said the man in the red bandanna had helped them to safety. us. Young found herself bloody and dazed as she and several others waited for help after the second plane’s wingtip sliced through the sky lobby. "All of a sudden, I heard a gentleman come out of the corner saying, ‘I found the stairs, follow me and only help who you can help,’" Young said. The man, who was carrying a woman on his back and a red bandanna in his hand, led the group to the stairwell. He gave Young a fire extinguisher, told the group to stay together and continue down the stairs. Then the young man went back upstairs to help others. "That was the last time I saw him," Young said. "He’s been on my mind every day." When Young’s group reached a safer floor, she put the fire extinguisher down in the corner of the stairwell. Wein, badly injured in the sky lobby, was sitting on a radiator waiting for help when a man with a red bandanna over his nose and mouth came running across the room and told people to help whomever they could and led them to an obscured staircase that would lead them to safety. "He was the cowboy coming in to save the town," Wein said. "In this day and age when we have no real heroes, here was a young man who basically gave his life," she said. Alison sent photos to Wein and Young to verify that the man in the red bandanna was Welles. "When I looked at it, I said ‘that’s it, I’m positive,’" Young said. "Without him, I would guarantee I would not be here. there’s no ifs, ands, or buts about it. He definitely saved my life." "There’s something about the eyes and the eyebrows that came out to me.it just all clicked," Wein said. "If it wasn't for Welles, I wouldn't be here." us. The Crowther family has gained a sort of peace in knowing Welles spent his last hour helping others. "He had worked and performed and been active and contributing and been doing what he chose to do, what he felt was important, up to the very last moment," Alison said. "That brought us a great sense of peace." On March 25, more than six months after the terror attacks, the Crowthers learned that Welles made it down to the makeshift command center on the ground level of the south tower before it collapsed. His bodyhad beenfound March 19, six days earlier, among a group of firefighters who died there. "He was doing his duty as a firefighter, and I think he felt totally fulfilled," Jefferson said of the son he also called his "best friend." "I don’t think for a moment he was thinking about his own safety He was thinking about the lives of all these people. "Welles' last hour was his legacy." us. Alison and Jeffersonand their daughters, Honor and Paige, will go to Ground Zero on the morning of Sept. 11. "I will be looking up in the sky thinking about what Welles was going through that morning," his mom said. On Sept. 11, severalservices will be held in Rockland County, N. Y.,for Welles and other victims of the World Trade Center attack. Three days later, professional musicians will join Alison as she plays her violin -- which she picked up for the first time in 20 years on March 19 -- for a concert. "This is the most horrible thing you can ever imagine happening to any family the pain was beyond bearing and the only thing we could do to survive this pain is to turn outward and look outward," Alison said. The Crowthers have established a trust fund that will fuel awards given to high school students who exemplify the type of person their son was, as well as so many others who lost their lives that day. "Yes, we mourn their loss, but if we only think about what we lost and not what we’ve had, we’ll just die," Alison said. "So we have to live in the beauty of what their lives were -- and who they were as human beings because that’s what we celebrate and that’s what we fill our lives with." us.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- They sat bloody and petrified -- the lights out, smoke engulfing the room and pain searing through their bodies. There was no escape from where they were in the South Tower, in pieces after being hit by United Airlines Flight 175 as far as they could tell. Then out of nowhere, a young man burst in and took control. In a strong, authoritative voice, he directed them to the stairway -- which was veiled by darkness, wreckage and haze -- telling the injured to get out and the healthy to help them down. "I see this incredible hero, running back and forth and saving the day," recalled Judy Wein. "In his mind, he had a duty to do -- to save people." "He's definitely my guardian angel -- no ifs, ands or buts -- because without him, we would be sitting there, waiting [until] the building came down," echoes Ling Young. Wein and Young were separated by a few minutes and a few floors that day, but they share a similar story and a single hero. Welles Crowther. Both women credit the equities trader and volunteer firefighter with saving their lives and dozens of others on September 11. But until a few months ago, Crowther was just an unforgettable face to Young. Wein remembered his penetrating eyes, firm voice and the red bandana he wore over his nose and mouth that late summer day -- but didn't know his name. That changed late last May, when a New York Times article featuring a description of the man in the tell-tale bandanna led Welles' mother, Allison, to Wein and then to Young. "Everything we shared -- all the details -- led right to Welles, so it was really beautiful," Allison Crowther said from her Upper Nyack, New York, home. "I am just so proud and gratified that he had the strength of character, the courage, the sense of duty to help others."

Welles Remy Crowther was born the oldest of three children, displaying his fearlessness, spirit and selflessness early and often growing up in the New York's northern suburbs, his parents say. He doted on his two younger sisters and followed his father Jefferson's lead, always carrying a bandanna in his back pocket (Welles preferred red, his father blue) and joining him as a volunteer firefighter as a teenager. A star student and lacrosse player at Boston College, Crowther joined Sandler O'Neil and Partners after graduation, settling into his office on the South Tower's 104th floor. While he loved his job, Welles told his dad that he really wanted to join the FDNY -- or possibly the CIA or FBI -- so he wouldn't be stuck behind a desk and would be able to help others. But that's where he was, behind his desk, on the morning of September 11. He made one final call to Allison from his office at 9.12 a. m., minutes after his tower was struck, leaving a brief, calm message saying, "Mom, this is Welles. I want you to know that I'm OK." That call was all the Crowthers knew about their son's final moments until police knocked on their door last March. Allison said the New York medical examiner's office told them Welles' body had been found intact, with no signs of burns, alongside firefighters and emergency workers then running a command center in the South Tower's lobby. Authorities speculated, according to Allison, that Welles was aiding the rescue effort as a civilian usher when he died, suddenly and painlessly, when the building fell. An official from the medical examiner's office told CNN the office does not release information on the condition and whereabouts of Trade Center victims, adding that relatives are welcome to share such details with the media. "We took great peace in knowing that [Welles] didn't suffer and that, up until the end, he was being very courageous, doing what he wanted to do," said Allison. "So he must have felt very fulfilled that day, knowing he was helping others."

Judy Wein was working for the insurance firm AON Corp. right below Welles, on the 103rd floor, when American Airlines Flight 11 hit the adjacent North Tower. Ignoring an announcement telling her building's occupants to stay put, she began heading downstairs. Ling Young, in her 86th floor office of New York's Department of Taxation and Finance, took an elevator to the 78th floor sky lobby. She was waiting there to board an express elevator to the street when the United jet tore through the floor, sending a rush of flames and debris that knocked her to the ground. When she got up and cleared the blood -- her blood -- from her glasses, Young saw "nobody -- almost everyone was dead." She and a few survivors huddled, waiting for help. After several grueling minutes, Welles popped onto the floor and made his remarks. Badly burned, Young and her fellow survivors obediently followed Welles, who was carrying a young black woman on his back. He dropped off the woman some 15 floors later and headed back upstairs, according to Young, saying that more people needed assistance. When he returned the 78th floor, Wein was waiting in pain, the impact having broken her arm, cracked her ribs and punctured a lung. Welles, now wearing his favorite red bandanna over his nose and mouth, burst into the room and, as he had with Young's group, loudly and calmly directed people to the stairs. This time, Welles went his own way as Wein headed down. "If he hadn't come back, I wouldn't have made it," said Wein. "People can live 100 years and not have the compassion, the wherewithal to do what he did."

As fall rolled into winter and 2002 began, the two women still couldn't get the image out of their heads. Wein said she'd go on the Internet and cover up the noses and mouths of those in the towers, hoping to identify the man in the red bandana. Young said Welles' face would pop into her head several times a day, because "he is the one who actually saved me from the start." The pieces all came together late last spring. Allison talked with Wein on the phone, then met with Young days later. One early summer Sunday, both women and their families went to the Crowthers' house for a picnic. While they're recovering from their physical injuries, both say the pure, powerful connection with the Crowthers has expedited their psychological recovery. "It does help me put myself in a lot more peaceful mind than I used to be, especially now meeting his family, who are like our extended family," said Young. "It really helped me tremendously, and helped me heal a little bit more, at least mentally." For the Crowthers, the details of Welles' final minutes reaffirmed their belief in his kindness and courage. And they are committed to making sure his life, and death, were not in vain. Jeff Crowther hopes his son's story will inspire people to become a volunteer firefighter, to give money to the homeless every day like Welles did, to set goals and follow through. "If Welles' story helps people to think of others then God bless them, God bless him," said his father. "He didn't live long enough to be head of a corporation or do good works or endow a museum. But what he did on September 11, that's his legacy." -- CNN correspondents Greg Botelho and Maria Hinojosa contributed to this report. Back to top

You want to start by cutting a bandanna hat like this, that you're going to cut that. And then if you cut all your pieces first -- now I've got a strap for an eye patch -- you want to cut all your pieces first and lay them out and make sure that they look good together, and then we'll glue it on. Now for the eye patch, you can cut a solid eye patch, like this. Or if the person wearing the mask wants the eye patch but doesn't want to lose the vision in that eye, you can cut the eye patch like this, with a hole in it. It still gives you the effect of a pirate's eye patch, but the child can still see out of it. So, when you get everything positioned the way you like it, then we'll glue it down. You want to use a nice heavy craft glue, and we'll -- take the cap off first -- and you put a nice, put a good amount of glue there and glue on your bandanna. Now, for a little bit of 3-D, or a little bit of effect, I made an extra piece for the knot, that will stick out a little. And then you can add that on there. Glue the eye patch strap like that. It's nice if it coincides with the strap on the mask. And then you can glue the eye patch on. And I'm using the one with the hole so that we can still see out of it. And now we'll glue on some polka dots onto our bandanna. And I've taken some of the polka dots and cut them in half, and you can place those on the edge and it really gives it a real nice look for the bandanna. Put some on the top and some on the bottom, and just lots of that. And you can also add some sequins to that bandanna to give it a little bit of a sparkle. The final touch on our pirate mask, I'll draw a scar here on his cheek. You just take a red marker, a permanent marker, and a nice line and then some crosshatches to give yourself a scary scar there. And here's our completed pirate's mask. It's nice and soft, made of the fun foam. It doesn't cover the nose or the mouth, so children enjoy wearing this kind of mask.

DENVER -- The police presence has been crushing in Denver already, with caravans of cops flying around the city and eight or 12 guys in full riot gear hanging onto the outside of big SUVs in a show of force. Besides a brief blockade of the Pepsi Center on Sunday, though, there hasn't been much real action. But today we ran into an angry confrontation between cops and half a dozen bandanna-wearing kids on the 16th Street Mall. No one could tell us exactly what happened, but a young protester named Chito, from Salem, Ore., said that "people were running, somebody dropped his pants -- not my friend" -- and that then his friend wound up under the cops, and under arrest. The police wouldn't comment on the charges, and one cop calmly shot video of reporters as they asked questions and Chito and his friends yelled about the arrest. "Stop the brutality!" A red-haired young woman in a green bandanna sobbed. "They tried to arrest my friend for no reason!" the woman said before she ran crying down the street. According to Chito, he and his friend were part of no organized group but came to Denver to "protest the destruction of the environment, the use of coal, cheap lumber. We have to end the war," Chito said. "It's a war for cheap bananas, cheap commodities." About 40 cops in riot gear blocked the intersection for at least 20 minutes so the dreadlocked kid from Salem could be taken away.

To fill the pillow, gather the softest grasses, dead leaves and moss you can find, carefully broken into pieces small enough that they won't pierce the fabric. No woods near your house? Backyard grass clippings (preferably dried) work well. At day's end, just shake out the filling and fold up the sit-upon for the next day's adventures.

You can stitch around the very edges of your bandannas or one inch in from the edges. A whip or running stitch works fine, but if your child likes sewing, she can try a more decorative pattern or even embroider her name on one edge.

Add a cheerful touch to the summer table with this patchwork-style runner. Line up enough bandannas to fit the length of a table, leaving some overhang, and stitch together. To back the runner, cut an old cotton tablecloth (any light-colored one will do) to match its width and length. Sew together along the edges or attach with iron-on bonding.

To fit standard dinner napkins, cut a bandanna into 6- by 9-inch strips. Fold each strip in thirds lengthwise, then fold in thirds widthwise. Sew a button on one end, about 1 inch from the edge. (Choose any colorful loose buttons you may have on hand. they don\'t need to match.) Then cut a corresponding buttonhole on the opposite end of the strip.

Not only decorative, these bandanna covers also prevent strappy tops and dresses from slipping off hangers. \r\n1. Fold a bandanna in half. slip a hanger in between fabric so its bottom meets the fold (fabric should cover the hanger\'s front and back). \r\n2. Trace the shape of the hanger\'s arms on the bandanna. cut, leaving room for the hook and a 1/2-inch hem on the side of the bandanna facing up. \r\n3. Fold hem over the hanger\'s arm, pulling the back side of the bandanna up to meet it, and secure with fabric glue. let dry. \r\n4. Trim any remaining excess fabric.

Cut 4-inch-wide strips from a bandanna (you\'ll need three or more, depending on your waist size). Fold strips in thirds lengthwise, then knot the strips together at ends. For texture, add extra knots and make a rag bloom by tying fabric remnants together with ribbon.

This quick-and-easy place setting also makes a sweet party favor for guests. Cut a bandanna into fourths. Fill squares with candy, gather edges, and tie with ribbon. For the name tag, make color photocopies of bandannas. Cut into rectangles, punch a hole at one end, and string on ribbon.

This handy pouch can double as a laundry bag or a safe place to stash delicates when traveling. Or fill it with knitting supplies needles and yarn fit neatly inside.\r\n1. Line up two bandannas with the right sides facing in. \r\n2. Sew together along bottom and sides, leaving 3 inches open on one side for drawstring casing. \r\n3. Fold over casing and stitch at bottom edge (the hem should be roughly 1 1/2 inches). \r\n4. Use a closed safety pin to help thread the ribbon through the casing.\r\n5. Turn the finished bag right side out.

Cut a bandanna into eight equal-sized squares. Stack squares, turning each one at a slight angle, to create \"petals.\" Pinch center and twist. secure with a few stitches. Insert a safety pin at the flower\'s base to pin to clothes.

A stiff, slightly sheer bandanna works best here. Cut the fabric to match the hurricane cover\'s height, then wrap around the glass. Cut to fit or overlap excess fabric, folding under the edges for a neat seam. Secure with two pieces of knotted twine.

Shop flea markets for inexpensive vintage wooden frames missing their backs, which are ideal for this project. Paint each one differently, then group into an eye-catching collection. \r\n1. Trace each frame\'s opening onto white foamboard, then cut so it fits snugly inside the frame. \r\n2. Stretch a bandanna over the foamboard. If excess fabric is too bulky, trim, leaving 2 inches remaining. \r\n3. Neatly fold the remaining fabric against the back of the foamboard and hot glue in place. \r\n4. Pop the covered foamboard into frame. \r\n5. Use double-sided tape or decorative pushpins to attach photos or postcards. To add a playful detail, hot glue a bandanna rosette to the frame.

Sunburn and insect bites can put a real damper on the gardening experience. This Insect Repellent Bandanna not only repels biting bugs, but it also blocks sunlight and keeps sweat from dripping into your eyes. It does all of these things thanks to a revolutionary new cloth called InsectShield. If you're tired of fending off mosquitoes and flies, put one of these bandannas on and put the fly swatter away. Insect Shield fabric is treated with Permethrin and bonding agents that keep the repellent from washing off. The bug repellant bandanna can be washed 70 times or more without losing effectiveness. Every time you wear it, the bandana releases a smell that insects associate with the Chrysanthemum flower. Chrysanthemums contain a natural insecticide called pyrethrum that destroys the nervous system of harmful bugs like mosquitoes, mites, chiggers, lice, no-see-hums, biting flies, and ants. Many biting and stinging insects will fly around the block if they catch even a whiff of chrysanthemum. Best of all, mums are virtually odorless to humans (they have a mild citrus/plum scent).Permethrin is a synthetic form of this natural defense mechanism, and it repels harmful insects without killing beneficial insects. Permethrin has been widely tested for use with children, pets, and the elderly - it is even used in lice shampoo for children. Permethrin inhibits insect growth and repels adult mosquitoes. Lab tests show that it has a low toxicity compared to chemical insecticides, and it is biodegradeable. Unlike DEET, Permethrin does not stain or dissolve clothing and there have been no observed allergic reactions in more than 30 years of use. The sunblock bandanna is currently available only in blue. Red will be available in the next couple of months, but blue is the only color we have in stock at the moment. You may wonder why using this Insecticidal Bandana makes more sense than spraying on some bug repellent. Well, this headpiece also delivers great sun protection. The sun and insect-proof bandana has the highest sun protection rating of any clothing - it is rated UPF 50+. That means that the tightly woven threads block more than 98% of the sun's harmful rays. It's traditional to wear a bandanna around your neck or over your hair for sun protection, but it can also be worn over the mouth to protect against dust and sunburn at the same time. The bug proof bandanna can absorb twice it's weight in moisture, which keeps plenty of sweat out of your eyes and off of your neck. If you have a good natured dog, you can even put an Insect Shield bandanna around their neck to keep repel ticks and mosquitoes.

This invention relates generally to the field of animal collars, and particularly, to animal collars in combination with a bandanna-type garment.

Animal collars are commonly used both to restrain and to identify the subject animal to which they are attached, such as a dog or a cat. As a restraint, a leash or similar device is attached to the collar in a manner well known in the art, so that the animal can be walked with control by the owner, or secured to a limited location to not run away. As an identifier, tags or similar identifying devices are often attached to the collar in a manner well known in the art so that the animal and its owner can be easily identified if the animal is lost. Yet, animal collars are largely dull and devoid of style, and it would be desirable to liven up the collar with an attractive associated garment. Animal garments, such as bandannas, provide a decorative look when placed around an animal's neck. But since an animal--unlike a human being--is unaware of the presence of a bandanna on its neck and is certainly unconcerned about its loss, such a bandanna can in fact become easily detached from the animal unless it is properly secured. U. S. Pat. Nos. 5,233,942. 5,467,743. 5,503,114. and 5,794,572 are examples of animal collars combined with other devices such as garments or identifiers. U. S. Pat. Nos. 5,025,508. 5,058,211. 5,381,559. 5,414,869. 5,608,914. and 5,867,833 include various scarves and/or bandannas for human use. But none of these patents discloses or suggests a suitable way to simultaneously provide added style to an animal collar using a bandanna while using the animal collar to secure the bandanna to the animal. Nor is a suitable method of manufacture disclosed or suggested.

The absence of style for typical animal collars coupled with the need to find a good way to secure a stylistic bandanna to an animal without loss makes it an object of the invention to attach a bandanna to an animal collar to introduce enhanced style for the collar, and simultaneously to make use of the securing properties of the animal collar to secure the bandanna against detachment from the animal and subsequent loss. It is a further object to provide a simple method for manufacturing an animal collar and bandanna combination which satisfies the aforementioned objects of adding style to an animal collar while providing a secure attachment for a bandanna.

A triangular bandanna is slotted with at least two collar slots proximate one edge of the triangle. The edge proximate these slots, including the slots, is folded over upon the rest of the triangle and sewn or stitched into place. An animal collar is passed through the collar slots. When secured to an animal, the collar is enhanced in appearance by the bandanna, and the bandanna is securely affixed to the animal by the collar.

The features of the invention believed to be novel are set forth in the appended claims. The invention, however, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing(s) in which. FIG. 1 illustrates a bandanna according to an embodiment of the invention, prior to folding and stitching. FIG. 2 illustrates the bandanna of FIG. 1 after folding and stitching. FIG. 3 illustrates the bandanna of FIG. 2 in combination with an animal collar for secure attachment to an animal. FIG. 4 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the bandanna and collar combination of FIG. 3.

The invention of the present disclosure is best illustrated and described by reference to the process through which it is manufactured. It is understood that both the resulting bandanna and bandanna/collar combination, as well as the method by which these are manufactured, are included within the scope of this disclosure and its associated claims. FIG. 1 illustrates a bandanna in a preferred embodiment of the invention. Bandanna 1 is preferably shaped as an isosceles triangle, with two of its three edges being non-folded edges 11, preferably of substantially equal length, and the third, folded edge 12 being of any desired length, including as a special case, the same length as non-folded edges 11, thereby in this special case forming a substantially equilateral triangle. Proximate third, folded edge 12 are at least two collar slots 13. These slots are cut into bandanna 1, substantially as shown, and must be of sufficient size such that an animal collar can later be passed therethrough (see FIG. 3). The slot 13 shapes, while shown herein as a rectangular, can be circular, ovular, or any other desired shape, so long as the slot size is large enough to later accommodate the animal collar. Bandanna 1 is then folded 14 as shown along fold line 15, proximate and substantially parallel to third, folded edge 12, resulting in the configuration shown in FIG. 2. Third, folded edge 12 is then attached to the region of bandanna 1 to which it is proximate following the folding 14, substantially along attachment line 21. This attachment along line 21 can be achieved with sewing, stitching, gluing, Velcro®, snaps, or any other similar means known in the art for attaching one garment or garment section to another garment or garment section. The internal pass through region 22 between the two adjacently-folded sections of bandanna 1 (i. e., between sections of bandanna 1 between fold 15 and attachment 21) and between collar slots 13 is left unobstructed, so that a collar can later be passed therethrough. An optional protective attachment line 23 of, e. g., sewing or stitching may also be added to provide a more tailored look and to prevent wear along fold line 15 once collar 31 is added as described in FIGS. 3 and 4. Finally, in FIG. 3, animal collar 31 is passed through each of slots 13 as shown, and thus is mutually secured to and with bandanna 1 by virtue of its passage though internal pass through region 22. The collar and bandanna combination as shown is then attached to the subject animal by passing the two free ends 32 of collar 31 around the animal's neck, and attaching 33 collar ends 32 together using any collar end attachment means known in the art, such as, but not limited to, various forms of buckle and snap, or even by tying. This collar and bandanna combination can then be worn by the animal as is, thereby providing a decorative collar and securing the bandanna to the animal in a way that prevents loss. Or, an animal restraint 34 such as a leash may be attached to collar 31 in a well-known manner, so that the movement of the animal may be properly controlled. Tags, and similar identifiers (not shown) may also be attached to animal collar 31 at this point as well. In an alternative embodiment, slots 13 are eliminated entirely, and collar 31 is simply passed through the open ends 41 at the ends of internal pass through region 22, as shown in FIG. 4. In this embodiment, end triangular regions 35 near the ends of internal pass through region 22 may (optionally) be simply cut off, so as to not interfere with collar 31 proximate where it emerges from internal pass through region 22. These may also (optionally) be cut off in the embodiment of FIG. 3, if desired. It is preferable, but not required, for the fabric comprising bandanna 1 to be constructed and/or printed such that the desired fabric design pattern appears on both sides of bandanna 1. For example, if the underlying fabric is printed with the desired pattern on only one side, then two fabric pieces can be cut into substantially congruent triangles and attached (e. g., stitched or sewn or glued) together back-to-back before beginning the process outlined in connection with FIG. 1. If the underlying fabric has a "finished" look on both sides to begin with, then this back-to-back stitching is not necessary. Again, this is simply an option, and a fabric finished on only one side (or not finished at all) can certainly be employed within the scope of this disclosure and its associated claims. It is understood that the lengths of the edges of the triangle formed by bandanna 1 may be chosen at will within the scope of this disclosure and its associated claims. Similarly, any type of fabric, with any type of design, coloration, or other physical appearance, may be used for bandanna 1 within the scope of this disclosure and its associated claims. Similarly, collar 31 can be any type of standard animal collar, and can even be a rope or any other elongated device, so long as it is suitable for being secured around the neck of an animal, within the scope of this disclosure and its associated claims. It is also understood that in the slotted 13 embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, that slots 13 can be cut through bandanna 1 at any position suitable for passing a collar therethrough, and not only at the locations illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. While only certain preferred features of the invention have been illustrated and described, many modifications and changes will occur to those skilled in the art. It is, therefore, to be understood that the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications and changes as fall within the true spirit of the invention.

Hi, on behalf of Expert Village my name's Rochelle Bartholomew and I'm here to show you how to make a bandanna top from your pareo or sarong. Take your sarong horizontally and you're going to fold it in fourths vertically, the long way. So you have your piece ending like this. You're going to wrap it around your back and bring it to the front, and you're going to make a right knot. It makes a cute bandanna top for shorts or even over your bathing suit. And for those of you that like to go topless and you need to go into a restaurant, which requires you to wear something, this is an option you can also use.

A bandanna (10) is provided with a graphics display area (12, 14) defined on at least one side of the bandanna. The graphics display area is defined on each side by a first and second guidelines (16, 18, 22, 24) that extend the length of the bandanna. The first and second guidelines are joined together at a terminal end by a third guideline (20, 26). The bandanna is initially folded along a center folding line (28), wherein the graphics display area is substantially centered and adjacent to the center folding line. Next, the bandanna is repeatedly folded and wrapped in a manner that creates successive folding lines each substantially parallel to the center folding line. The folding and wrapping continues until one of the folding lines reaches the third guideline. A tip portion (32) is folded about the third guideline thereby creating a pocket (34). Then, each side of the bandanna is repeatedly folded and stacked about the first and second guidelines, first one side and then the other. Finally, the bandanna is successively reverse folded by turning the pocket inside out. thereby creating successive pockets, until the graphics display area is displayed.

Description Following his highly-praised Shining Brow (1993), which was also written as an opera libretto for the American composer Daron Aric Hagen, Paul Muldoon's Bandanna takes us into very different territory. Its action is set in a small town on the Mexican border. it includes illegal immigrants and corrupt law officers among its dramatis personae. but at its heart is an old-fashioned tale of sexual jealousy and murderous revenge. The drama is powered by a strong emotional thrust, most of it conveyed in the form of popular song, and leading to a devastating climax. Bandanna demonstrates yet again the ever-increasing range of this most versatile of poets.

A bandanna-type article of wearing apparel is fabricated from an integral piece of fabric folded in a manner to have forward and back panels of substantially triangular shape and an intervening pocket region. The configuration of the article is such that its upper edge is essentially the base of a triangle, and a downwardly directed apex constitutes the lower extremity of the forward panel. Tying ears extend from both extremities of the upper edge. A sheet of compliant thermally insulative material such as a polyurethane sponge is held by sewn seams within the pocket region.

Having thus described my invention, what is claimed is. 1. A bandanna-type article of wearing apparel comprising. a) an integral piece of fabric having. 1) a forward panel of substantially triangular shape having front and rear surfaces, convergent side edges that meet in a downwardly directed apex, and a substantially straight base edge having opposed extremities from which short angled edges extend downwardly to meet said side edges to form lateral apices, said base edge disposed opposite said downwardly directed apex in a manner causing said forward panel to have a line of symmetry that intersects said downwardly directed apex and perpendicularly bisects said base edge, 2) a back panel disposed upon the rear surface of said forward panel adjacent said base edge and formed as a continuous integral extension of said forward panel by virtue of the rearward folding of said piece of fabric, said back panel being disposed in parallel relationship to said forward panel and defining therewith a pocket region, and 3) elongated tying ears outwardly emergent from said lateral apices as continuous integral extensions of said forward panel and formed by the gathering and sewing of said piece of fabric, and b) a sheet of compliant thermally insulative material disposed within said pocket region and elongated upon a center axis parallel to said base edge and intersecting said lateral apices. 2. The article of wearing apparel of claim 1 wherein said integral piece of fabric is comprised of hydrophilic fiber. 3. The article of wearing apparel of claim 2 wherein said hydrophilic fiber is cotton. 4. The article of wearing apparel of claim 1 wherein the thermally insulative material is of rectangular configuration and is sewn within the pocket region by stitching that penetrates forward and back panels and the intervening insulative material. 5. The article of wearing apparel of claim 1 wherein said insulative material is comprised of cellular foam fabricated of a synthetic resilient polymer. 6. The article of wearing apparel of claim 5 wherein said resilient polymer is polyurethane.

1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to an article of wearing apparel, and more particularly concerns a bandanna-type product which may be used to shield the wearer's face and neck from cold wind, sunlight and dust. 2. Description of the Prior Art Conventional handkerchief scarfs, commonly called bandannas, in the usual form of squares or rectangles, are formed from thin fabrics of silk, cotton, rayon or the like which may be characterized as being of a limp and thin nature. Such bandannas are often used as a facial covering to protect the wearer's face from cold and wind and to filter dust out of inhaled air. However, due to the thin nature of the material, the bandanna provides very little insulating quality in cold temperatures, and little barrier in strong winds. Furthermore, such bandannas have little or no stiffness and, when used as a facial protective covering, do not lend themselves to draping or shaping of the fabric to the face and neck. With the end portions of the bandanna used for tying purposes, the bandanna must closely conform to the face of the wearer and cannot be shaped to the face of a particular wearer. Strong winds often cause a conventional bandanna to be blown away from its most effective position. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cloth wearing apparel article improved with respect to protecting the wearer's face and neck against exposure to weather elements. It is another object of this invention to provide a bandanna-type wearing apparel article of the aforesaid nature formed from a limp fabric yet capable of resisting displacement in strong winds. It is a further object of this invention to provide a wearing apparel article of the aforesaid nature which can be worn in different ways for protection of the face, head or neck from the effects of weather elements. It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a wearing apparel article of the aforesaid nature of simple construction and amenable to economical manufacture. These objects and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description.

The above and other beneficial objects and advantages are accomplished in accordance with the present invention by a bandanna-type article of wearing apparel comprising. a) an integral piece of fabric having. 1) a forward panel of substantially triangular shape having front and rear surfaces, convergent side edges that meet in a downwardly directed apex, and a substantially straight base edge having opposed extremities that meet said side edges to form lateral apices, said base edge disposed opposite said downwardly directed apex in a manner causing said forward panel to have a line of symmetry that intersects said downwardly directed apex and perpendicularly bisects said base edge, 2) a back panel disposed upon the rear surface of said forward panel adjacent said base edge and formed as a continuous integral extension of said forward panel by virtue of the rearward folding of said piece of fabric, said back panel being disposed in parallel relationship to said forward panel and defining therewith a pocket region, and 3) elongated tying ears outwardly emergent from said lateral apices as continuous integral extensions of said forward panel and formed by the gathering and sewing of said piece of fabric, and b) a sheet of compliant thermally insulative material disposed within said pocket region and elongated upon a center axis parallel to said base edge and intersecting said lateral apices. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the thermally insulative material is of rectangular configuration and is sewn within the pocket region by stitching that penetrates forward and back panels and the intervening insulative material.

For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawing. FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of the bandanna-type article of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a rear view of the embodiment of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view taken upon the line 3--3 of FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a front view of the embodiment of FIG. 1 shown in a wearing position adapted to protect the face of the wearer.

Referring to FIGS. 1-4, a bandanna embodiment of the wearing apparel article of this invention is shown comprised of forward panel 10, back panel 11, tying ears 12 outwardly emergent from said panels, and a sheet of compliant insulative material 13 disposed between said panels. The bandanna is made from a single piece of fabric, preferable of initially square shape and preferably woven of hydrophilic fiber such as cotton, silk or rayon. Such hydrophilic fibers enhance transmission of moisture, thereby minimizing perspiration accumulation on the wearer. Suitable fabrics are preferably of plain weave construction such as gingham, percale, and shantung types of fabric. The initially square piece of fabric may typically have an edge length between about 18 and 30 inches. The edges of the fabric preferably have a sewn hem or equivalent treatment to prevent unravelling. Forward panel 10 is of substantially triangular shape, having front and rear surfaces, 14 and 15, respectively and convergent side edges 16 that meet in a downwardly directed apex 17. Forward panel 10 is further bounded by substantially straight base edge 18 having opposed extremities that meet with side edges to form lateral apices 19. Base edge 18 is disposed opposite apex 17 in a manner causing said forward panel to have a line of symmetry 20 that intersects apex 17 and perpendicularly bisects base edge 18. Back panel 11 is disposed upon rear surface 15 of said forward panel, and is formed by the folding of the initial square piece of fabric rearwardly about a fold line that constitutes base edge 18. Accordingly, back panel 11 is a continuous integral extension of said forward panel, and has a triangular shape. A pocket region 21 is defined by base edge 18 and said panels. It is important to note that base edge 18 is formed above the true diagonal line that would be produced by the symmetrical folding of a square piece of fabric. Accordingly, short angled edges 28 extend between base edge 18 and lateral apices 19. The sheet of thermally insulative material 13 is held within pocket region 21 by lateral lines of sewing 22 and transverse lines of sewing 23, said lines of sewing penetrating both panels. The illustrated insulative material has a rectangular shape elongated upon a center axis 24 that is parallel to base edge 18 and intersects lateral apices 19. The rectangular shape of the insulative sheet is comprised of upper long edge 25 disposed in contact with base edge 18, lower long edge 26, and end edges 27. It is to be noted that, in the illustrated embodiment, end edges 27 are inwardly disposed from the lateral apices. Such spacing is an important feature of the invention because it enables the bandanna to be properly conformed during use. The insulative material is preferably comprised of a sheet of cellular foam made of polyurethane, neoprene or equivalent resilient polymers. In certain applications of the bandanna, closed cell foams are preferably to open celled foams. By virtue of the sheet of insulative material, and other features of construction, the bandanna can maintain a secure position when worn. Elongated tying ears 12 are outwardly emergent from lateral apices 19 as continuous integral extensions of the piece of fabric, and are formed by gathering of the fabric along lines 29 and sewing along holding lines 30. Because the tying ears are emergent from the center axis 24 of the insulative material, the position of the bandanna is highly stable when worn. If instead, the tying ears were emergent from either the upper or lower long edges of the insulative material, the positional stability of the bandanna would be lessened. FIG. 4 shows the bandanna worn in a preferred manner wherein the insulative material covers the mouth and nose of the wearer, and the tying ears are knotted behind the head. Such mode of use protects against the breathing of extremely cold air. Still further modes of wear of the bandanna are possible. While particular examples of the present invention have been shown and described, it is apparent that changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the invention in its broadest aspects. The aim of the appended claims, therefore, is to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

A bandanna-type article of wearing apparel is fabricated from an integral piece of fabric folded in a manner to have forward and back panels of substantially triangular shape and an intervening pocket region. The configuration of the article is such that its upper edge is essentially the base of a triangle, and a downwardly directed apex constitutes the lower extremity of the forward panel. Tying ears extend from both extremities of the upper edge. A sheet of compliant thermally insulative material such as a polyurethane sponge is held by sewn seams within the pocket region.

Having thus described my invention, what is claimed is. 1. A bandanna-type article of wearing apparel comprising. a) an integral piece of fabric having. 1) a forward panel of substantially triangular shape having front and rear surfaces, convergent side edges that meet in a downwardly directed apex, and a substantially straight base edge having opposed extremities from which short angled edges extend downwardly to meet said side edges to form lateral apices, said base edge disposed opposite said downwardly directed apex in a manner causing said forward panel to have a line of symmetry that intersects said downwardly directed apex and perpendicularly bisects said base edge, 2) a back panel disposed upon the rear surface of said forward panel adjacent said base edge and formed as a continuous integral extension of said forward panel by virtue of the rearward folding of said piece of fabric, said back panel being disposed in parallel relationship to said forward panel and defining therewith a pocket region, and 3) elongated tying ears outwardly emergent from said lateral apices as continuous integral extensions of said forward panel and formed by the gathering and sewing of said piece of fabric, and b) a sheet of compliant thermally insulative material disposed within said pocket region and elongated upon a center axis parallel to said base edge and intersecting said lateral apices. 2. The article of wearing apparel of claim 1 wherein said integral piece of fabric is comprised of hydrophilic fiber. 3. The article of wearing apparel of claim 2 wherein said hydrophilic fiber is cotton. 4. The article of wearing apparel of claim 1 wherein the thermally insulative material is of rectangular configuration and is sewn within the pocket region by stitching that penetrates forward and back panels and the intervening insulative material. 5. The article of wearing apparel of claim 1 wherein said insulative material is comprised of cellular foam fabricated of a synthetic resilient polymer. 6. The article of wearing apparel of claim 5 wherein said resilient polymer is polyurethane.

1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to an article of wearing apparel, and more particularly concerns a bandanna-type product which may be used to shield the wearer's face and neck from cold wind, sunlight and dust. 2. Description of the Prior Art Conventional handkerchief scarfs, commonly called bandannas, in the usual form of squares or rectangles, are formed from thin fabrics of silk, cotton, rayon or the like which may be characterized as being of a limp and thin nature. Such bandannas are often used as a facial covering to protect the wearer's face from cold and wind and to filter dust out of inhaled air. However, due to the thin nature of the material, the bandanna provides very little insulating quality in cold temperatures, and little barrier in strong winds. Furthermore, such bandannas have little or no stiffness and, when used as a facial protective covering, do not lend themselves to draping or shaping of the fabric to the face and neck. With the end portions of the bandanna used for tying purposes, the bandanna must closely conform to the face of the wearer and cannot be shaped to the face of a particular wearer. Strong winds often cause a conventional bandanna to be blown away from its most effective position. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cloth wearing apparel article improved with respect to protecting the wearer's face and neck against exposure to weather elements. It is another object of this invention to provide a bandanna-type wearing apparel article of the aforesaid nature formed from a limp fabric yet capable of resisting displacement in strong winds. It is a further object of this invention to provide a wearing apparel article of the aforesaid nature which can be worn in different ways for protection of the face, head or neck from the effects of weather elements. It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a wearing apparel article of the aforesaid nature of simple construction and amenable to economical manufacture. These objects and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description.

The above and other beneficial objects and advantages are accomplished in accordance with the present invention by a bandanna-type article of wearing apparel comprising. a) an integral piece of fabric having. 1) a forward panel of substantially triangular shape having front and rear surfaces, convergent side edges that meet in a downwardly directed apex, and a substantially straight base edge having opposed extremities that meet said side edges to form lateral apices, said base edge disposed opposite said downwardly directed apex in a manner causing said forward panel to have a line of symmetry that intersects said downwardly directed apex and perpendicularly bisects said base edge, 2) a back panel disposed upon the rear surface of said forward panel adjacent said base edge and formed as a continuous integral extension of said forward panel by virtue of the rearward folding of said piece of fabric, said back panel being disposed in parallel relationship to said forward panel and defining therewith a pocket region, and 3) elongated tying ears outwardly emergent from said lateral apices as continuous integral extensions of said forward panel and formed by the gathering and sewing of said piece of fabric, and b) a sheet of compliant thermally insulative material disposed within said pocket region and elongated upon a center axis parallel to said base edge and intersecting said lateral apices. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the thermally insulative material is of rectangular configuration and is sewn within the pocket region by stitching that penetrates forward and back panels and the intervening insulative material.

For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawing. FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of the bandanna-type article of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a rear view of the embodiment of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view taken upon the line 3--3 of FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a front view of the embodiment of FIG. 1 shown in a wearing position adapted to protect the face of the wearer.

Referring to FIGS. 1-4, a bandanna embodiment of the wearing apparel article of this invention is shown comprised of forward panel 10, back panel 11, tying ears 12 outwardly emergent from said panels, and a sheet of compliant insulative material 13 disposed between said panels. The bandanna is made from a single piece of fabric, preferable of initially square shape and preferably woven of hydrophilic fiber such as cotton, silk or rayon. Such hydrophilic fibers enhance transmission of moisture, thereby minimizing perspiration accumulation on the wearer. Suitable fabrics are preferably of plain weave construction such as gingham, percale, and shantung types of fabric. The initially square piece of fabric may typically have an edge length between about 18 and 30 inches. The edges of the fabric preferably have a sewn hem or equivalent treatment to prevent unravelling. Forward panel 10 is of substantially triangular shape, having front and rear surfaces, 14 and 15, respectively and convergent side edges 16 that meet in a downwardly directed apex 17. Forward panel 10 is further bounded by substantially straight base edge 18 having opposed extremities that meet with side edges to form lateral apices 19. Base edge 18 is disposed opposite apex 17 in a manner causing said forward panel to have a line of symmetry 20 that intersects apex 17 and perpendicularly bisects base edge 18. Back panel 11 is disposed upon rear surface 15 of said forward panel, and is formed by the folding of the initial square piece of fabric rearwardly about a fold line that constitutes base edge 18. Accordingly, back panel 11 is a continuous integral extension of said forward panel, and has a triangular shape. A pocket region 21 is defined by base edge 18 and said panels. It is important to note that base edge 18 is formed above the true diagonal line that would be produced by the symmetrical folding of a square piece of fabric. Accordingly, short angled edges 28 extend between base edge 18 and lateral apices 19. The sheet of thermally insulative material 13 is held within pocket region 21 by lateral lines of sewing 22 and transverse lines of sewing 23, said lines of sewing penetrating both panels. The illustrated insulative material has a rectangular shape elongated upon a center axis 24 that is parallel to base edge 18 and intersects lateral apices 19. The rectangular shape of the insulative sheet is comprised of upper long edge 25 disposed in contact with base edge 18, lower long edge 26, and end edges 27. It is to be noted that, in the illustrated embodiment, end edges 27 are inwardly disposed from the lateral apices. Such spacing is an important feature of the invention because it enables the bandanna to be properly conformed during use. The insulative material is preferably comprised of a sheet of cellular foam made of polyurethane, neoprene or equivalent resilient polymers. In certain applications of the bandanna, closed cell foams are preferably to open celled foams. By virtue of the sheet of insulative material, and other features of construction, the bandanna can maintain a secure position when worn. Elongated tying ears 12 are outwardly emergent from lateral apices 19 as continuous integral extensions of the piece of fabric, and are formed by gathering of the fabric along lines 29 and sewing along holding lines 30. Because the tying ears are emergent from the center axis 24 of the insulative material, the position of the bandanna is highly stable when worn. If instead, the tying ears were emergent from either the upper or lower long edges of the insulative material, the positional stability of the bandanna would be lessened. FIG. 4 shows the bandanna worn in a preferred manner wherein the insulative material covers the mouth and nose of the wearer, and the tying ears are knotted behind the head. Such mode of use protects against the breathing of extremely cold air. Still further modes of wear of the bandanna are possible. While particular examples of the present invention have been shown and described, it is apparent that changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the invention in its broadest aspects. The aim of the appended claims, therefore, is to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

To his family, though, he's known not only as a hero, but as the young man who set an example to the world in sacrificing his life for others. "We're very proud of what he did. because we understand that it was really the ultimate thing that a person can do be that courageous and brave, and look death right in the face and not turn away," Alison said. "We're also very proud. that his story is getting out there and changing so many hearts, that young people it changes them when they hear it and it makes them more concerned for their fellow man and determined to do more good in the world. "That is the real power that's going on here. That's really a beautiful thing for us," she said. Welles' family channels its love for their lost son, brother and friend into projects that keep his spirit alive. There's the Welles Remy Crowther Charitable Trust, a living memorial that funds scholarships for young people and projects that benefit them. a service award at Boston College Welles' alma mater and, the annual Red Bandanna 5K run in Boston started by two of Welles' college friends. Welles' college roommate, Tyler Jewell, wore a red bandanna around his neck while competing in the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics' snowboarding events. People even have asked the Crowthers if they can name their newborns "Welles." On Sept. 17, the fifth annual Concert for Remembrance, 9/11, will be held at Grace Episcopal Church in Nyack, N. Y. Alison, a violinist, will perform, as will many professional musicians representing groups such as the New York Philharmonic, American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet and Metropolitan Opera. Just before the concert, the Crowthers will dedicate a paschal candle sculpture, "Phoenix Rising" made of a beam from the World Trade Center. "I had this very strong feeling from the beginning it should be a phoenix rising from the ashes of the World Trade Center," Alison said of the sculpture, which is engraved with the words. 'As the Phoenix, so Good shall Rise from the Ashes to Triumph over Evil and Prevail on our Path toward the Pure Light of God.' "The whole concept is that good will rise to triumph over evil because we're all on this path in one form or one way or another. I think it's a struggle," Alison said. Living Reminders Welles' story has brought the Crowthers closer to those lives he helped save. They consider themselves part of Ling Young's family. Young was waiting for help in the South Tower after the second hijacked plane's wingtip sliced through the sky lobby. Welles came to the rescue, but Young suffered severe burns and remains badly scarred. "We've gone to every single Chinese New Year's celebration, sons' weddings it's like we're part of their family now," Alison said. "The fact that they are able to carry on their lives because our son was able to save them it's a beautiful thing to us, that they are able to be there for their babies and their grandbabies. We will never be able to have that with Welles but he was able to give that to others and that means the world to us." There are other living reminders of Welles. On July 24, 2004, his sister Honor gave birth to the Crowthers' first grandchild a girl. Welles Remy Fagan. "It wasn't a conscious choice. It was just something I, on 9/11, I knew I was going to do," Honor said. "One of my first thoughts was, 'now I know what my firstborn is going to be named' It was just a feeling I had, and I'm glad I was able to do it and I do feel I've honored my brother by using his name." "Honor," it turns out, was an appropriate name for Welles' kid sister. On March 27 of this year, she gave birth to Conlan Thomas Fagan. "Conlan" in Gaelic means "hero." "It's almost ironic in that Conlan was named almost more for my brother than her son Welles was," said Honor, who is inspired to do what she's passionate about raising her children. "I actually picked Conlan out when we were pregnant with Welles," she said. "When I saw that name, I knew I was going to use it." Although 2-year-old Welles doesn't know the story of her uncle, she recognizes his picture, saying, "Uncle Welles, Uncle Welles." When she is old enough, Honor said she's going to tell her daughter how Uncle Welles gave so much to help so many. "I think it's all very important and I think 9/11 is important to everyone as a part of our history," Honor said. "We just have a little closer relationship to this part of history than a lot of people." Since Welles' death, the Crowthers have shared weddings, births and other happy events with family and close friends whose lives were touched by their son. His absence is painfully felt. "I'm sort of frozen in time with this. We're so happy for them but that's a real sadness for us, that Welles will never have that," Alison said. Honor described her wedding which included Welles' New York City roommate in the bridal party as "very emotional." "My dad and I danced, we both cried because we just both realized that as perfect as the day could have been, it wasn't because my brother was missing and he should've been there," she said. Some things, however, haven't changed. Welles' high-school ice hockey and college lacrosse jerseys are still in his room, as are his bookshelves and "little boy things" like an alligator head Alison bought for him when he was 8. The Crowthers said they won't go to Ground Zero on Monday, the fifth anniversary of the attacks, but they will mark the day by spending time with him at the Grace Episcopal Church, where his ashes reside. "We had this vision all along what our future was going to be Welles' children, Honor's family and Paige's family. we do have and will have that with Honor and Paige, but Welles was taken out of that scene," Alison said. "It was like cutting off an arm or leg that was very hard to come to grips with, that he wouldn't have the opportunity to live his life. "Our life is very full with our daughters now, but there's always going to be that sense of emptiness we didn't have before 9/11," she said. "Our lives were totally full. Now we walk around with that hole in our hearts." - For more information on the Concert for Remembrance, to be held Sunday, Sept. 17, please call (845) us.

100 Things #55) I wear a bandanna/head scarf almost every day. I have long hair and I like it that way, but it seems that most days it gets in my way too. To keep my hair out of my face and out any projects I might be working on, I wear a bandanna. I wear one to the gym when I work out too. It just suits me better than ponytails most of the time. I dont wear bandannas to work, thats an occasion for ponytails and barrettes.

Love the bandana!! I most wear ponytails, but thatll change as the sun gets punishing outside. Love the new header for your blog, too!

Turn the bandanna so that the side that is folded is at the bottom. Sew up the other sides. Note. leave the top open for the top of the purse.

If the bandanna is reversible, you may want to fold it so that the side you don't want is on the outside. That way you will be sewing the bandanna inside out.
