Diecast: Do Rags
Do rags are stylish nylon headgear that fits tight to the scalp. These head accessories have become popular recently for both men and women as the final piece to complete a hip, trendy outfit. Fashionable shoppers can find hundreds of different styles of do rags-from plain, solid colors to decorative prints displaying logos and pictures.
Diecast enthusiasts can sport many different styles of this head accessory to show support of their favorite driver, car or sponsor. The popular Dale Earnhardt, Jr. headgear displays his car number 8 above his signature on the front band. The prevailing black color complements the hanging tie strings and red band, which displays the white autograph on the front and black racing stripes on the sides.
Many auto supply stores also offer diecast merchandise, sports memorabilia and fashion accessories. So, when purchasing car customization and engine building components, one can also put a do rag on the bill. These shops will often sell styles that display their own brand name as well as designs endorsed by professional racers.
Do Rags Under Raps
In the 1940s, many African-American men originally wore cutoff rayon or silk stockings on their heads while sleeping to hold their processed hairdos flat and smooth. Do rags returned in the 70s as more of a rebellious fashion statement, but hip-hop culture of the 90s brought the style back into urban vogue and eventually mainstream. Today, do rags are a common fashion accessory worn not only by hip-hop heads, but anyone who wants to add a chic element to their look.
