Mil-Tec Olive Drab Shemagh Desert Scarf

Mil-Tec Shemagh Scarf

A shemagh, also called a keffiyeh, is a large square of woven cotton that soldiers, hunters and hikers wrap around the head, neck or face to block sun, blowing sand, dust and wind. This Mil-Tec version comes in olive green with a black pattern and is sized at 43 x 43 inches, enough to tie as a full head and face wrap. It fills the same role as the shemaghs carried by troops in desert theaters, and it works just as well on a range day, a dusty trail or a windy campsite.

Features

• 100% Cotton — Lightweight, soft cotton breathes when pulled over the mouth and nose and is comfortable against bare skin in the heat.
• 43 x 43 Inch Square — At roughly 109 x 109 cm, the scarf is large enough to fold into a triangle and wrap fully around the head and face.
• Olive And Black Colorway — An olive green ground with black detailing pairs easily with OD green (olive drab, the classic military green) and other earth-tone kit.
• Traditional Woven Pattern — The center panel carries the classic interlocking shemagh motif, framed by black and olive striped borders.
• Knotted Tassel Edges — Small knotted tassels along two sides finish the edges in the traditional style.
• Sun, Dust And Wind Cover — Wrapped over the face and neck, the cotton keeps out sand, grit and wind and shades skin from direct sun.
• Multiple Ways To Wear — Tie it as a head wrap, a neck scarf, a bandana or a face covering depending on conditions.
• Packs Down Small — Folded, it takes up little room in a pack, pocket or glovebox until you need it.

Size And Construction

Mil-Tec makes this shemagh from 100% cotton in Pakistan, woven with the pattern set into the fabric and finished with knotted tassels. The 43-inch square is a standard full-size shemagh: fold it corner to corner for a head or face wrap, or roll it lengthwise to wear loosely around the neck. Because it is one piece of cloth with no fasteners, it fits any head size and adjusts by how you tie it.
