MAKE YOUR OWN

You can use any fabric to create your head scarf. Just cut a square about 30 inches by 30 inches (76 cm x 76 cm). You might find suitable material at the thrift store in the skirts or bed linens section. Indian cotton bedspreads were popular in the 70s and have that "Jack" bandana look.

The following fabric designs come the closest we've found online to Jack Sparrow's:
