Does anyone know where I can buy fabric for Sikh turbans (dastar) in Mexico?
Hello, I’m a Mexican man with no Indian ancestry or family connection to Sikhism. However, I’ve known about this religion for some time now, I really like it, and I would like to become part of it despite not being from India.
Right now I’m studying the Five Ks and the teachings of the Gurus. I know I still have a long way to go before I can be considered a Sikh. One of the things I also want to do is wear a turban, as Sikh men normally do.
However, where I live, from what little I’ve researched, there are no stores that sell the fabrics mainly used for Sikh turbans, such as F74 and full voile. From what I’ve learned, these turbans are made of soft, breathable cotton fabric so they don’t overheat the head or cause headaches.
I haven’t yet gone out to check fabric stores across the country, but I’m planning to visit some and ask if they have these types of fabrics or similar ones.
I would really appreciate it if any Mexican Sikh or any Sikh living in Mexico could kindly tell me where I can buy turban fabric here in my country, or alternatively, fabrics that are similar to those used for a dastar. I would be very grateful.
