My soon to be Russian Father-in-law has been asking my girlfriend for years for a cap that he has seen many American jazz players wear. It is like a Kufi but more of a square skull cap than the round ones I see on the internet. It is wool I believe, not loosely knitted, I imagine like the type the great T. Monk might of worn. It is not like the Afgan style, nor is it a fez. While hunting on the 'net I find the word "skull cap" used wrong, often ending up being a biker's do-rag. So what is this thing called? Didn't we have a fashion board at one time? Please help, I've even been looking on Muslim clothing sites with no luck Thanks…

Try searching for "kente kufi". If "Dad" doesn't like the colors of kente cloth, then just try looking for crown style kufis.
