new thread
I know I, for one, wear bandanas on days when I am not working and I would like if I could support MLHH a bit....might a few bandanas (or even better, the really long type of head wraps à la Jack Sparrow) be made available at the gift shoppe? (Subtle designs or watermarked MLHH letters would be prefered for this than large font quotes, I think.)
Thanks for considering it.

Hey Mr.Crow-
Alas, bandanas are not offered by CafePress which is the company which does all of the work with items they have available that Luckskind puts up in the Gift Shoppe once sized for them to work with. (And, it is alot of work!) Everything you see in the Shoppe is "individually hand-done" for ea. order that comes in. I will call CafePress tomorrow and give them your idea as they are always looking for new ideas to expand on what they presently offer.
Thanks so much for bringing this up.
All the best-
Justin
If bandannas are done, any message should be in a one-inch band running diagonally across the bandanna. Other ways won't show up if the bandanna is tied around the head, which is how a LONGHAIR usually will wear a bandanna.

I like hair bands...and it would be nice if CafePress offered them--but
I wonder if getting a design on them would ever work out because of the folding, etc.
I would imagine it might be a nightmare to get it "just right."
Sweatbands are one thing, but getting bandanas to come out right might make
the designer go bananas!
Actually, so long as the pattern lies in a one-inch swath diagonally across the bandanna, running approximately through the bandanna's center, you will do just fine. The guy folding the bandanna can make the folds in the right place to align with your design. However, if the centerpiece of your design is along the bandanna's edges, or it is square with the edges of the bandanna rather than at 45 degrees to them, there is no way for him to present your centerpiece right-side-up and over his forehead.
This is all because bandannas are tied around the head using diagonal corners. Adjacent corners are too close together, and if you try to tie them together, the bandanna will not reach all the way around your head.

An alternate could be, though, to have a small design in a repeated pattern across the full square. For it to look nice, it should be somewhat subtle and artistic - something I am sure you can do..

Bill;
I'm so glad you provided that link.....I had read that page years ago, but it still makes me chuckle.

Be a cool idea to sell bands for awkward stage hair too :P
