"England Style" Turban

[Singh559]

6-8 meters probably? I'm glad you provided such a specific range (sarcasm).

If you're right, that would surprise me, since the typical big "Punjabi style" turbans are that big and I always thought of the "England style" ones as being smaller. But perhaps I thought wrong and you are right.

I haven't found a girl yet, but I've learned an awful lot and will continue to look.

I've concluded that it is very possible to find the type of girl I'm looking for while maintaining my kesh. BUT, it's only possible if almost everything else about you is top notch and you have a very good strategy and technique.

I wish I knew what I know now when I was 20. I wish I had planned for and started this whole process back then. It would have made things much, much easier.

There is no rule book that says patiala shahi has to be 7 meters or englandee shahi has to be 4 meters. A patiala shahi can be 5.5 meters and look just as big as a 7 meter pagh.

Just make it as long as you want to or can tie. When I first started to learn triangular pagh i got 5.5 meter cloth. After I mastered that I felt I wanted to make it a bit bigger and got 7+ meters. If you want to tie englandee shahi would you fold it like jusreign does in the video or get it so you can do a pooni?

The reason why the triangular dastaaran are "bigger" is because their pooni is different and the twist when bringing down the lards are different. Length might be the same.

6 metres is about right, not more. It's an individual choice, no hard and fast rule. To ensure you look smart, make sure it's in proportion to the size and shape of your face. I know it may not sound politically correct, but some patiala shahi styles look as if they were tied without the aid of a mirror.

A Kenyan or African style pagh usually refers to the Ramgharia style pagh and Englandee is the modified version worn by everyone. The original Ramgharia style can still be quite big but are worn much higher and most are small either with hardly any point at all or an extreme point and it doesnt always cover the ears. You see some oldies wearing the really small pointy ones and it looks almost like a Brahmins topee.

Anyway for the Englandee 5-6 metres not meters but metres sounds about right. :smile2:

there's no concept of length as such, buy a standard 5 metre and if necessary cut off any excess, for the Kenyan style dastaar if you also want it to be compact keep a maximum of 5 lar.

Thanks. Should it be double patti, like the patiala shahi that most Punjabis wear, or single?

Hmm ... I see what you mean.

So should it definitely be folded as jusreign does it, or does some people tie the England pag after doing pooni the same way they'd do for the patiala shahi?

Oh, and should the cloth be double patti or single?

Depends on how you want your pagh to look really. Double patti is oldskool, i dont think its as popular with the younger crowd.
