I feel like they used to sell "Mark Scarves?"

Try eBay.

was that a Bloomingdale item?

No it wasn't a Bloomingdale item. They were sold at the Neder but haven't been around for a few years now. The only way to get one is to knit one yourself. :)

They used to sell Mark-like scarves and more tightly lineated red and black striped scarves at the nederlander that had '525600' in the color featured on the scarf (white vs. red) on the dark blue (the sold mark-like ones were deep blue instead of black) and black background on the back . They occasionally do appear on ebay now if you keep your eyes peeled.

However,
If you want a mark-like scarf that's not necessarily the official lookalike one (which is very much replica-like, thusly having the numbers and no stripes on the back) you can find similar ones in stores... they had rugby style ones that are pretty nice at J. Crew, about a month ago, most notably minus the fringe, (got one myself as I couldn't resist the plush/soft feeling compared to the one I made)... just look around and you're bound to find one, especially with the rugby style producing stores and the fact that its a pretty common pattern... : )

(Knitting really isn't that hard though ; ) )

I have one. I also have a Mimi candle used by Daphne. And an original Playbill signed by the entire original cast. Just thought you'd want to know.

I realized that the Hufflepuff Harry Potter scarves look kind of like a Mark scarf, except the blue is brighter.

But I'm one of the cool kids with the official Rent memorabilia scarf with the 525,600 on the back. Measure in love!

Gotta love the scarfs. I had to have one when they came out. I'm glad I got both the red and the blue one. I'm actually wearing the blue one today.

Sad to hear that they don't sell them anymore. RENT has really dropped down on its memorbillia anyhow. I'd love to see the show revamped. Its such and old workhorse. Wouldn't it be fun to change up the costumes a bit?

OMG that totally just reminded me that I have one of those! I must go home after work and locate it now. YAY mission!

Oh my Gosh. I totally have one of those! Thanks for reminding me. If you want it, PM me and maybe we can work something out. I dont think I've ever even worn it. I just remember seeing it at the booth and thinking "Wow! I need that!" ... Much like my Spamalot cow, Producers mug, Phantom hat, Les Mis christmas ornament.....One of these days I will learn.

I would love to see a revamp and a new cast of Rent, so long as they kept the Blue Mimi Pants.

Hey guys, I want to knit a scarf similar to Mark's, so does anyone have a good quality color picture of it that they can post here? I want to get the colors perfectly right, and I can't find any photos that give me a good idea of what colors to use. I would look in the big black Rent book but its at home and I'm away at school.

I saw someone walking around campus with a black and white striped scarf, and I started laughing. And then I wanted one. It's sad, really...

I have a black and white (sort of Mark-esque) scarf. I got it several years ago at Filene's when I was in a big RENT phase. Now, I really just like it because it's super long, really soft, and very warm! Oh and Elphie, I don't have a photo, but I think the scarf is really dark navy blue (almost black) and don't forget the fringe (my Mark-esque scarf doesn't have fringe).
