Brown Shemagh Desert Scarf

Rothco Brown Shemagh

A shemagh is a large square of cotton cloth, worn for generations across the Middle East and adopted by soldiers serving in desert regions to keep sun, wind and dust off the head, face and neck. This Rothco version comes in brown with a black woven pattern and is cut as a 42 by 42 inch square, big enough to wrap fully around the head. It suits hunters, hikers, range shooters and anyone working outdoors in heat or blowing grit.

Features

• 100% Cotton Fabric — Natural cotton breathes well and soaks up sweat, which helps you stay cooler in hot weather.
• 42 x 42 Inch Square — The full-size square leaves enough cloth to fold into a triangle and tie around the head or face with length to spare.
• Brown And Black Pattern — A traditional woven shemagh pattern in black over a brown base, finished with banded stripes along the edges.
• Knotted Fringe Edges — Tied tassels along the edges finish the cloth in the traditional style.
• Protective Headwrap — Wrapped around the head, it shades the scalp and keeps hair out of the way in sun and wind.
• Balaclava Style Coverage — Pulled up over the head, nose and mouth, it covers the whole face except the eyes.
• Dust Shield Neck Gaiter — Worn loose around the neck, it can be lifted over the nose and mouth when dust or sand starts blowing.
• Everyday Desert Scarf — Draped as a simple scarf, it protects the back of the neck from sunburn and adds a light layer when the evening cools.

Cotton Build And Size

Rothco weaves this shemagh from 100% cotton, so it stays soft against the skin and absorbs moisture instead of trapping it. The 42 inch square fits most adults whether you tie it as a headwrap, a face cover or a plain scarf. Folded or rolled, it takes up little room in a pack or glove box.
