Japanese Pilot Headbands

I was wondering if anyone knows of anyplace that makes replicas of the headbands Japanese pilots wore during WWII?

Funny, I just ate there tonight, but didn't bother looking to see if they had any.... The restaurant is just down the street from me, so I can check there this weekend..

Re: Japanese Pilot Headbands

I would like one also to display, thanks for the idea! I did a google search for "kamikaze headband" and there were quite a few sites offering them, mainly martial arts suppliers. Here's one link Japanese Headbands (Hachimaki)
