Barely a 4 months after the poor single colour coral was elevated by Pantone
to iconic status, you have to come along and put it in its place

From sealed gear item parted out. The part count is actually supposed to be 73 pcs according to the bubblepack. Current inventory shows 72. I do not think there are extra's in this gear, so the regular count for this part should be 3 and not 2.

I’ll excuse your French as it so happens that “%^^$%@” could indeed be replaced
by “French”.
|
That will not do as my French writing is already limited to some swear words,
cooking terms from Larousse and a bit here and there from a few novels. Wish
I could read Proust, Balzac, Littel and few others in original French.

Bicorne = two horns
There are tricorne hats too (three horns).
|
Horny hats will be even more difficult to remember, it is not a concept I usually
associate with hats or caps.

| | You might want to bookmark this page. It at
least gives the starting point names of some hat/headdress styles with images,
since I can never remember any of them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat

You’ll note that on that page, keffiyeh is spelled keffiyah.
(While the wiktionary lists kaffiyah, kufiya, and kufiyah as alternative spellings,
but not keffiyah.)
Finding it through Prince of Persia minifigures might be quicker than searching
the wikipedia page then trying all the possible spellings

It's always the same cycle, I search "turban" because it's very similar
to a turban.
and all that pops up are these;
&
So then I remember that the piece I'm looking for is on a few of the Prince
of Persia minifigs so I go to catalog, minifigs, prince of persia, and then scroll
until I find one with the matching headgear, and then drill down into it's
inventory to find that it's called a "Keffiyeh"
to which my response is, "oh, well, I'll probably never remember that..."
I wish the description was "Headgear Headdress Cloth Wrap Keffiyeh (Turban)"
even if it's not technically a turban. It would help me find it faster in
the future.
At any rate, taking the time to type this all out should help me remember in
the future and I discovered that one only has to type "kef*" in the headgear
search and this pops up so I should be able to remember those 3 letters at least
going forward.
Took me awhile to remember "kepi" for this part too, but I remembered eventually.
