To all our new and devoted customers- I would like to go over and explain some of our products in the section called "hats and head coverings"
We will be understanding what the differences is -between the Tichel kerchief and Oversized pretieds. These two categories can be found in the shop by department - hats and head coverings
Tichel - Kerchief
What is a Tichel? Sometimes called a Kerchief as well.
A Tichel is a square scarf that we fold and make into a head scaf.
I would say that your Bubby -most likely wore this style head covering in Europe, in the Shtetl.
All married Jewish ladies covered their hair out of modesty and a sign that she is married.
Fabric and texture have come a long way in the Tichel world. We no longer tie the kerchief under our chin in the front. The Tichel is pretied with our soft elastic in the back. We offer sizes on the elastic so there is no need to tie. Another novelty is the Strip grip that is built into the front inner side to help keep your head wear from sliding around
Oversized pretieds
Now lets talk about the Oversized pretieds. This section is different because its not a square scarf that we work with. We buy fabric on a roll and we cut the fabric into headwear. The end results is pretty similar to the Tichel kerchief. This too has a built in elastic for a pretied look. Some woman like the fabric feel and texture better then a Tichel or vis versa. The strip grip in also built into the Oversized pretieds
Both itmes - Tichel kerchief and the oversized pretied have options to build in a strip grip -This edge inner keeps your headwear from slipping and sliding.
What is a Strip Grip? A strip grip is a 3/4”-1" piece of velvet that is sewn into the band of head covering of your choice. It is designed to eliminate the slipping and sliding that usually occurs. That’s why we call it the SLIP GRIP! It is smooth, comfortable and not sweaty. It is completely invisible from the outside and so very comfortable.

WE AIM TO PLEASE.....
We actually read your requests and then see what we then can offer you. Many visitors to our site have asked if we can offer an option for solid colors in FACE MASKS.
We are happy to announce that we can - and have that option available on our site.
There could be a few reasons why some folks like solid black or white options for face masks. Perhaps its easier to match the outfit. Or perhaps some are the more practical type. It might just be that some find it classier / neater look.
We are starting off with black and white solid colors. If we hear from you ( our favorite customers...) that you would like to see more colors we can provide other choices of colors to our line of face masks.

WHAT THE HECK IS AN ANGLE SWEATER?!
Well who wears pullover sweaters? It seems to me that the feminine world of fashion wears sweaters without zippers, buttons or snaps. I find that when I'm getting dressed up, to go out - I apply my make-up first, while wearing a pretied bandanna. Then when I'm all dolled up and ready to leave, I can easily put on my ANGLE SWEATER. The angle seater goes over my pretied bandana or any head covering (Sombrero excluded!). I can pop on my funky hat or wig (with a slip not - wig grip underneath of course) as a head covering and I am good to go.
Below is an Angle sweater that has a bit of a cowl neck for easy on and off. This knit sweater is sometimes called a PONCHO. It is warm, cozy and dressy too. I love how the sweater just drapes beautifully on a dramatic angle with a point worn in the front. My favorite is the most practical color- LOL yes, BLACK. The most forgiving color in a girls closet.

Hair is good on heads… not so good in food!
If you think you've always got your hair covered, take this survey:
How often do you, your husband, or one of your kids find hair in their food? Or better yet, a guest??!! Hmm… appetizing!
If you can answer less than once a month (of the hairs you know about), you're better off than me and better off than most. Congratulations! But still…
You love entertaining and finally got your Great Aunt Judy over with Uncle Marv, kids and new grandchild – an obvious first dressed in pressed corduroys, a sky blue polo, with a backwards Yankee cap forcing down a heedful of curls, framing a cherubic face.
Your garlic bread went over great – no less than six compliments scored. The salmon entree was “plain luscious” as cousin Leah put it and you were just ladling out the cream of potato soup, thinking about the condiment presentation you had put together.
Twelve soup bowls safely to the table, and you can relax. You lift your spoon, sniff the contents of the bowl appreciatively and open your mouth in anticipation… whoa! What's that long, thin, brown thing overlapping the edges of the spoon? It's certainly not a potato! You furtively glance around, hoping no one noticed what just happened, when you notice Uncle Marv inspecting something on his spoon… EMBARRASSING!
And that's the facts! You can't even point fingers to your teenaged daughter ‘cuz you got none, or to your older sons, ‘cuz their hair is too short.
Again I ask – think you got your hair covered? Then again, you might if you've checked out our special food prep headgear of pre-tieds that actually STAY IN PLACE. Here at millineryshop.net we believe that hair, all your hair, belongs on your head.
Whether it's your hair, or shaitel hair, no one wants it in their food. Don't just blame it on the wig – no one really cares especially when it only gets washed once in six weeks (if you're conscientious!). Get yourself a good, strong, tight pre-tied bandanna that's easy to put on and comfortable to wear and keep you hair where it belongs… oh! And also fully enjoy your hair-free cream of potato soup and entertaining your guests without those embarrassing moments.

For many of us the decision to cover ones hair (or head) is a very difficult one. We agonize over what kind of comments we will receive from our friends, family and colleagues. Well we are here to help you pull it off! with advice and know how of years of experience.
If it's your style – you can begin with a funky pretied bandana it is comfortable and so easy to wear. The last thing you need is to be uncomfortable physically as well as mentally. My next choice if funky is just not you is a small hat- not the kind you see people wearing Sunday morning!! but a neat, stylish, non-fussy hat.
After you make your choice-whatever your choice is you need only one more thing. CONFIDENCE!! Honestly, if you think you look great chances are others will too. So turn it on!!
Wishing you much Luck,
Millinery Shop

At the YTT expo located in Lakewood, New Jersey. Many apparel vendors were there showing their new merchandise. It was really amazing to see so many businesses flourishing.
I saw something else that deserves a lot of our attention. Cheap imports. Some clothing retailers began importing items such as from Asia. Aside from being politically incorrect, the merchandise is far inferior.
Some stores have purchased this merchandise looking to gain a larger margin of profit (at your expense) others are offering it at steeply discounted prices. It may seem appealing to pay almost half the price you would normally pay. Buyer beware! This product will not hold up to normal wear and tear. It is not cut for optimal comfort and endurance.
I have taken the time to put together this quality tutorial for all consumers. Current MillineryShop.net customers and future customers.

SLIP BANDS - WOW! What loaded words . At MillineryShop.net we have sold over 200 slip bands in two days with one of these daily Groupon style deals. We have had so many questions comparing one slip band verses the cotton version of the slip band - it's not that one band style is better then the other!!!!
It is different based on ones needs. For some women who are sensitive to different fabrics and they can only tolerate cotton on their skin, or perhaps a women who lives is California and its quite hot in climate- they would appreciate a cooler version made with a cotton side to be worn on their heads. The summer version of the slip not is then a cooler version - simply because it's only 1/2 velvet as apposed to a two sided velvet band.
Another great feature is that we are able to offer this in THREE popular colors: Black, Chocolate Brown, and Champaign. And let's take it a step further- is every women's head the same size? LOL no way!! Even though the slip bands come with a velcro back closure a good fit is a sure fit!! So we offer the bands in FOUR different sizes. Small, Medium, Large. and Extra Large.
By offering different styles, Colors, and sizes in the slip band -many women can enjoy it's quality of keeping their headwear on!

We aim to please. You asked we answered.
Our wig grips have been flying off our shelves like Bubby's cheesecake on shavous. Some of our customers have mentioned to us that over the summer they don't wear their shietel as much as during the year. They feel they are overdressed using a wig grip . When it is 90 degrees and it feels like 120 degrees, and your air condition went on vacation, every extra layer just hurts!
Based on this exact situation we designed the strip grip.
What is a Strip Grip? A strip grip is a 3/4”-1" piece of velvet that is sewn into the band of the head covering of your choice. It is designed to eliminate the slipping and sliding that usually occurs. That's why we call it the SLIP GRIP! It is smooth, comfortable and not sweaty. It is completely invisible from the outside and so very comfortable.
This add on option is available on most of our pretied bandanas. The introductory price is just $3 this price will increase after shavous. Take advantage of the special introductory pricing.
Real story: I was given a pretied with a strip grip before I wrote this article. It is embarrassing how often I wear it. It is by far my most comfortable piece I own. I never have to readjust pull down and pull – you know exactly what I mean…

Home made bagels - so easy - so good.
1 1/4 cups water
4 1/2 cups bread flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon instant yeast
4 quarts water
1 cup honey (optional)
Directions
Combine 1 1/4 cup water, flour, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, vegetable oil, and yeast in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer.
Mix on low speed using the dough hook until well-developed, about 8 minutes. To ensure the gluten has developed fully, cut off a walnut-sized piece of dough. Flour your fingers, and then stretch the dough: if it tears immediately, the dough needs more kneading. Fully developed dough should form a thin translucent "windowpane."
Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, and let rise for 2 hours.
Punch the dough down, place it on a lightly floured work surface, and use a knife or dough scraper to divide the dough into 6 pieces (or more, for smaller bagels). Roll each piece of dough into a sausage shape about 6 inches long. Join the ends to form a circle. Repeat with the remaining dough, and let the bagels rest for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange small plates with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and onion flakes next to the baking sheet.
Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Add honey, if desired (see Editor's Note). Boil the bagels, three at a time, until they rise to the surface of the pot, about 1 minute per side. Remove the bagels with a slotted spoon and place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Dip the tops of the wet bagels into the toppings and arrange them, seeds up, on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with coarse salt, if desired. Bake in the preheated oven until the bagels begin to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
Adding honey or barley malt syrup to the boiling water bath gives the bagels a pleasing chewy texture with a hint of sweetness. You may omit the honey, if desired. The nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of the honey. The actual amount of the honey consumed will vary.
