The impact of Muslim women’s experiences on their use of the hijab has received little attention from researchers (Tarlo, 2010). Therefore, the purpose of this research was to investigate why and how a group of Muslim women developed and adopted a variation of the hijab, the Multipurpose Modern Hijab (MMH), to wear while living in the United States. Results show that participants developed a hijab alternative that they believe retains its ability to communicate their religious beliefs and commitment to Allah, but also is easier to put on and keep on, more comfortable, and more accepted by the non-Muslim community. One major challenge participants noted is finding a single fabric that meets their needs in terms of aesthetics and comfort; there is a need for fabrics that are designed specially for hijab users. %B International Textile and Apparel Association %C Vancouver %8 2016 %G eng %2 b %4 144725635072 %$ 144725635072 %0 Journal Article %J Research Journal of Textile and Apparel %D 2013 %T Consumer Perceptions Regarding the Limited Lifespan of Fast Fashion Apparel %A Collett,Miriam %A Cluver,Brigitte %A Chen,Hsiou-Lien %K Design Program %B Research Journal of Textile and Apparel %V 17 %8 2013 %G eng %N 2 %2 a %4 71127326720 %$ 71127326720 %0 Generic %D 2013 %T The effect of textiles on perceived physiological comfort while backpacking in the cold %A Chen,Hsiou-Lien %A Baker,Lynn %A Cluver,Brigitte %K Design Program %B Annual meeting of the International Textile and Apparel Association %C New Orleans %8 2013 %G eng %2 c %4 89053063168 %$ 89053063168 %0 Journal Article %J Clothing and Textiles Research Journal %D 2010 %T Assessment of Poplar Seed Hair Fibers as a Potential Textile Thermal Insulation Material: Part I - Physical and Chemical Properties %A Chen,Hsiou-Lien %A Cluver,Brigitte %K Design Program %B Clothing and Textiles Research Journal %V 28 %P 255-262 %8 2010 %G eng %N 4 %2 a %4 58368131072 %$ 58368131072 %0 Journal Article %J Textile Research Journal %D 2010 %T Biodegradation and mildew resistance of naturally colored cottons %A Chen,Hsiou-Lien %A Cluver,Brigitte %K Design Program %B Textile Research Journal %V 80 %P 2188-2194 %8 2010 %G eng %N 20 %2 a %4 58368028672 %$ 58368028672 %0 Generic %D 2009 %T Clothing Consumer Inventory Management %A Cluver,Brigitte %A Burns,Leslie %K Design Program %C Bellevue, WA %8 2009 %G eng %2 c %4 58244741120 %$ 58244741120 %0 Generic %D 2009 %T Microbiological Resistance of Naturally Colored Cottons %A Chen,Hsiou-Lien %A Cluver,Brigitte %K Design Program %B Annual Meeting of the International Textile and Apparel Association %C Chicago, Illinois %8 2009 %G eng %2 c %4 58368706560 %$ 58368706560 %0 Generic %D 2009 %T Study of Thermal Properties of Military Ballistic Helmets by Thermal Manikin and Human Subjects %A Cluver,Brigitte %A Chen ,H L %K Design Program %C Bellvue, WA %8 2009 %G eng %2 c %4 58244710400 %$ 58244710400 %0 Generic %D 2008 %T Microbiological Degradation of Naturally Colored Cotton Fibers %A Cluver,Brigitte %K Design Program %B International Textile and Apparel Association Conference %C Schaumburg, IL %8 2008 %G eng %2 c %4 58244769792 %$ 58244769792 %0 Generic %D 2008 %T Study of Thermal Properties of Military Ballistic Helmets by Thermal Manikin and Human Subjects %A Chen,Hsiou-Lien %A Cluver,Brigitte %K Design Program %B Annual Meeting of the International Textile and Apparel Association %C Seattle, WA %8 2008 %G eng %2 c %4 71127185408 %$ 71127185408 %0 Generic %D 2007 %T Thermal Insulation Properties of Mesh Knit and Foam Padding Internal Systems for the Military Ballistic Helmets %A Cluver,Brigitte %A Chen,H L %K Design Program %B International Textile and Apparel Association Conference %C Los Angeles, CA %8 2007 %G eng %2 c %4 58244794368 %$ 58244794368 %0 Journal Article %J Clothing and Textiles Research Journal %D 2001 %T Apparel Descriptions in Catalogs and Perceived Risk Associated with Catalog Purchases %A Cluver,Brigitte %A Burns,Leslie %K Design Program %B Clothing and Textiles Research Journal %V 19 %P 22-30 %8 2001 %G eng %N 1 %2 a %4 58244894720 %$ 58244894720 %0 Generic %D 1997 %T Apparel Descriptions in Catalogs and Perceived Risk Associated with Catalog Purchases %A Cluver,Brigitte %A Burns,Leslie %K Design Program %B Annual Meeting of the International Textile and Apparel Association %C Knoxville, TN %8 1997 %G eng %2 c %4 58244929536 %$ 58244929536
