Some places are designing more with the westerner in mind and I'm deeply grateful, light 100% cotton being difficult to find anywhere else.

It feels like a second childhood, a repeat of my hippie days, but much of this stuff is downright chic. Besides, you can't beat 100% cotton woven cloth (opposed to hot knitted stuff) in the desert in summertime.

If any of it came from these women, I'm doubly happy about it.
