dasNdanger Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I'm trying to find out the historical development of the modern paisley print bandana (usually with a paisley border and smaller 'dots' - of paisley or another design - in the center). A quick search on the history of the paisley pattern turned up this site, http://www.paisley.org.uk/history/pattern.php , but I'd like to know when the bandana style so common today (and often worn by modern piratical sorts ) first made an appearance... das http://www.ajmeerwald.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hrothgar Addams Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 A few years ago, I was visitin' the Little Big Horn battle site in Montana, and I got to speakin' with a guide gussied up in a Indian Wars era cavalry uniform. He explained the green paisley bandanna he was wearin' as bein' one for the more popular colors and styles available through the sutlers on the frontier. It seems the yellow ones worn like a Boy Scout neckercheif in the movies was just that--movie costume. Probably a Edith Head original. Real soldiers on the frontier wore Paisley That brings us to the mid-1800s---anyone know sompin' earlier? Never give up--Never surrender! Remember -- A good friend will come and bail you out of jail...BUT a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...that was fun!" Live while yer alive--an' when yore dead be done with it!
