B"H
Not sure what it's called. Where can I purchase the silk tichels the Williamsburg chassidishe women wear? Preferably one that ties or is pre-tied because I'd like extra material draping down, not just a hat-style. Online only if that exists

Don't be shocked by the prices on Maya's link. Hermes is an expensive designer name.

It also happens to be the most popular brand used by the women, which is why I chose this link. Other brands include Burberry and Valentino.
There's a reason why I included the word "designer" in my first post.

I'm chassidish and I don't own brand name tichels.
I have a white silk one for shabbos. No brand at all.
I think I also have a colored polyester one somewhere. Not everyone you see with that look wears brand name scarves, or even real silk.

I'm specifically talking about the women who wear shpitzlech. I have several friends who do so; they are not stylish women at all yet they only wear silk designer scarves, and I have been told that the majority of women do this.
I apologize, I didn't realize the OP was talking about the kind of scarves worn to shul over a sheitel or on Friday night (although most of those are designer, too.) I automatically assumed she meant a shpitzel.

If you probably have a colored polyester somewhere, you're obviously not wearing a shpitzel. I think OP is referring to that.

I'm amused at the attempt to deny that the overwhelming majority of women who wear shpitzels wear them with designer silk scarves.

I am not chassidish, and I was in a teichal store in Monroe recently and the prices ranged from $10 to $170. I have also been shopping with friends in Century 21and they bought silk scarfs there. OP, you can try Century 21 on line.

Century 21 sells brand name scarves, and yes, that is where a lot of women get theirs from.
Perhaps, hopefully, standards have changed from the time when I was into it. I remember comparing net cost of a sheitel vs. shpitzel with my friends when we were getting married, and the total of their scarves accumulated over the first few years amounted to similar amount of all three of my wigs combined.

I wouldn't know about that.
OP described leaving fabric hanging so I assumed she meant the kind of tichel I have.

OP hasn't clarified yet exactly which style she meant.

Considering the title, though, OP probably did mean shpitzels.

OP, I know a lot of women buy their scarves on MyHabit, which is a daily flash sale site/app, when the prices are relatively good on the designer scarves.

She can do a turban liner with a scarf. That could be relatively cheap.

Wow thanks for the feedback!! That's really helpful. So I saw a few rebbish type women (im assuming that term is not deragatory. If it is please let me know and I'll remove it immediately. I mean ultra chassidish looking, in all the best ways!) who I really look up to in terms of the way they carry themselves. Very regal but also very simple and not gashmiustike looking. A plain burgundy cardigan, black a-line skirt, and they had a sheitels (the kind where only the bang shows) underneath a long beautiful tied silk scarf. They either tied it themselves or it was a pre-tie; it had longish ends hanging down. idk if that provides any clarity or not! I don't know how else to describe it.
My second question is, how on earth do you get SILK to stay on top of a sheitel?!? Sounds like some kinda crazy magic to me

Was it just two ends of what looked like a pretied hanging down? There's a certain way that they tie the square, it's very complicated and I wouldn't know how to describe it
The tichels are held in place with pins.

I believe they use pretty hatpins to pin the silk in place. Like a long straight pin with a tiny fake pearl on the end or something like that.

Lol I would actually love to know how they tie the shpitzlech, they look really pretty. I wear scarves all summer and though I've tried wrapunzel tutorials the only one I've mastered is wrapping the ends around the bun. I love the crisscross look with all ends tucked in but haven't been able to successfully copy it.

Someone who wears a shpitzel deserves a lot of credit - so they go out and buy designer scarves still cheaper than custom wigs
