Grey Shemagh Desert Scarf

Grey Cotton Shemagh

The Rothco Shemagh Desert Scarf is a large square of woven cotton cloth that you can wrap around the head, neck or face to keep off sun, wind and dust. The shemagh is a traditional Middle Eastern headscarf, and soldiers serving in desert regions adopted it widely because one piece of cloth covers so many jobs. This version is grey with a white woven pattern, a quieter alternative to the classic black-and-white or tan colorways.

Features

• Cotton Construction — The scarf is woven from cotton, a natural fiber that breathes in heat and feels soft against the face and neck.
• Woven Shemagh Pattern — The white design is woven into the cloth rather than printed on top, so it is part of the fabric itself.
• Grey And White Colorway — Light grey with white patterning gives a neutral look that goes with most outdoor and tactical clothing.
• Traditional Border Bands — A wavy patterned band and plain striped bands run across the ends, following the classic shemagh layout.
• Knotted Tassel Fringe — The edge finishes in hand-style knotted tassels, the traditional detail on a shemagh.
• Multiple Ways To Wear — Fold it into a triangle to wrap the head and face, loop it loosely as a neck scarf, or drape it over the shoulders.
• Rothco Build — Rothco is a long-running maker of military-style clothing and field gear, and the shemagh is a regular part of its line.

Cotton Weave And Wear

The loose cotton weave lets air through, so you can pull the scarf over your nose and mouth on a dusty trail or at a windy range and still breathe comfortably. Folded corner to corner, it is big enough to wrap the head and tuck the tail under at the neck, the way it is worn in the field. When you don't need it, it rolls small enough to stow in a pack or tie to a strap.
