    His doctor was like “Hey man, you gotta take your turban off and put on a motorcycle helmet.”
    And he was like “Nah, bro, what if I just wore a bigger turban?”
    And his doctor was like “Dude, you’d need a turban that’s like 100lbs to offer you the same protection as a good helmet.”
    Avtar: “Bet.”

      You’re joking, but that’s actually the idea behind all of the chainmail and metal woven into the turban. It’s basically a traditional military helmet.

    According to the internet the turban fabric is 645 meters long, weighs 100lbs and takes several hours of his day to put on… His neck must look like a question mark lol

      If he wears it everyday I imagine he must feel a lot lighter at the end of the day like there’s less gravity. Also 100 lb is 45.35924 kg apparently.

      That’s why he wears all that other nonsense - so you don’t notice the sword until it’s too late.

      There was actually a study that showed turbans are surprisingly good at absorbing rotational force and they might’ve helped inspire stuff like MIPS on modern bicycle helmets.

        Well if i was told the correct thing one of the main reasons Shiks wore turbans in the past was to protect their heads when they fell off their horses in battle. So yeah, a helmet.

        Also apparently the “bracelets” were to tie their swords to so if they dropped it while on a horse it wouldnt just fall leaving them weapon-less.

        Theres more reasons behind the 5 K’s (the above being two of the) but i cant really remember them.

      for real, those clothes are doing a lot of heavy lifting (🤭) in hiding those shoulders. Homie could probably tag-in for Sisyphus for a lil while
