that scarf, a keffiyeh, is a palestinian support scarf/religious symbol. their fashionability is much-discussed and controversial. however, you can order them online for as low as $8 if you just google. and i think they sell them at urban. and probably on canal street, or in a palestinian neighborhood. however, be careful you know what you're doing.

no prob! i know how sometimes things look cool (and really, it's all up to you, i wear some stuff that is maybe politically questionable) but i didn't want you to get mocked or harassed over it...there are other scarves with cool graphic looks that are just as good...i stick to ones with bits and horsey paraphernalia because at least i used to ride :)

Haha yeah, it really would have been terrible if I was just prancing around obliviously wearing a political symbol on my neck and possibly offending people doing so. I really like the look of them, but perhaps some things are more important than fashion.

urban has some cute scarves that don't have any political associations. i think this one is a really cute alternative.

Well, you seem to have gotten the info on the scarf, if you need any more, the place I know that sell them really cheap is on Nostrand and Fulton Aves in Brooklyn.
For the jacket, I can guarantee you'll find an exact [if not similar] one at the H&M in 34th Street [accross from Macy's] for $49.50
good luck :]
