Where can one buy large pareos in the Twin Cities?

I have been wearing sarongs (56 by 48 inches) tied at the wrists and draped over the shoulders a lot lately as jackets, but I'm interested in getting a larger pareo (72 inches in length or so) to try wearing as a dress. (See a free podcast that explains how they can be worn here). Anyone know a place they can be purchased in the Twin Cities?

This has nothing to do with pareos. But could I yoink your wearing-ironmongery pic? I like this much.

Sure, be my guest. You are welcome to take any of my Tolkien icons. See here and here (and the mood set is here, supplementary set here.). Credit is nice.

Thank you! I'll certainly give credit. I'm just going to borrow the one, though. For some reason I like the word "ironmongery," and the idea of a sartorial aspect to ironmongery, doubly so.

"I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country's done for."

As Dickens says.
