Catholic Stole

Typing a keyword "stole" in the google search box, most of the results appear with the catholic-related piece of ritual costume worn by deacons, priests, and bishops.

Deacons wear the stole like a sash, the vestment resting on the left shoulder and thence passing across the breast and back to the right side.
The stole of the priest extends from the back of the neck across the shoulders to the breast, where the two halves either cross each other or fall down straight according as the stole is worn over the alb or the surplice.


The stole is worn by a bishop in the same manner as a priest, except that it is never crossed on the breast, as a bishop wears the pectoral cross.

Pope Benedict XVI receives a stole from an unidentified bishop as he arrives to the Palacio dos Bandeirantes in Sao Paulo, Thursday, May 10, 2007. The pontiff is in Brazil on his first trip to Latin America. by daylife.com

Academic scarf

In many British and Irish colleges and universities, sets of two or more colours have traditionally been used as part of the distinctive visual identity of the institution. These colours are used in clothing and symbols of all kinds, from ties to trophies, but notably in the long woollen winter scarves that students often wear to show their pride in their Institution. Initially sported by students from the constituent colleges of the University of London

Wear a bandana like a gang


A trend for young men is to wear bandana scarves around their head in the gangsta style. It’s a fashion that started among gang members in California and has since spread from the West to be a nationwide style among young, urban men. Everyone who wears the style isn’t necessarily a gang member, as it has become pretty main stream, but many times the colors or patterns of the scarves are indicative of gang loyalties.

Bandana Color by http://www.funadvice.com/q/bandana_colors

Gang related colors are blue / red
Actualy there are a lot more colors that mean something < jessykalovesjeff4e >
Crips - main color is Blue
Bloods - main color is Red (or burgundy if they are Piru)
Green - certain gangs identified with Parks or certain cities (Gardena Shotgun Crips or Lincoln Park Bloods[San Diego])
Purple - Grape Street Watts Crips (L.A.)
Brown - Fudgetown Crips (Compton)
Orange - Hoover Criminals (South Central Los Angeles)
Surenos (Mexicans - Southern Cali) - Blue
Nortenos (Mexicans - Northern Cali) - Red

Just be safe with all of that stuff one of my friends got shot for wearing one.

A gang style bandana in Vietnam

There are absolutely nothing to be worried about wearing a gang-style bandana here.

More usage:

Female students
In China

Really bad idea if you are driving a motorbike without a mask like this in this contaminated atmosphere.
Here, only usage for cleanliness is most practical use.
Robbers love it sometime :-)
