    Material and Size of Turban
     
    • Printer-friendly version

    Turbans are 5m (length) x 1m (standard width). Length can vary from 5 to 8 meters, depending upon the kind of Turban one wants to wear. There are some exceptions where some people like Nihang Singh may go with Turbans as long as 10 meters or more. High School children normally wear 4 to 5 meters long turban.  Small children wear Patka which is available in the following four sizes:

    • Extra Small (18 inches X 18 inches)
    • Small (21 inches X 21 inches)
    • Medium (24 inches X 24 inches)
    • Large (27 inches X 27 inches)

    Sikh Turbans are made of semitransparent cotton fabric. Rubia Fine is a light, manageable, strong 100% cotton material with a weave density that enables easy tying of a neat turban with fewer creases Mulmul, also 100% cotton, has a less dense weave than Rubia Fine, resulting  in a lighter turban. It is often used by Sikhs who prefer to starch their turban material.

    Therefore, we recommend washing your new material before use. Please wash by hand, using lukewarm water and a gentle laundry detergent.
