Grey Shemagh Desert Scarf

very good quality i love it if your hesitant just buy it its great

Exactly what I needed. Read review about terrible odor which made me nervous. Happy to say, no scent on mine at least.

Good quality shemagh, like the ones you find overseas. Mine was made in India, and was woven material, not a dyed pattern. I think people who never had a “shmog” think that they are thick woolen scarves and comment that they are “poor quality and thin”. They are realatively thin linen material with a lumpy weave that will keep your neck and head surprisingly warm or cool depending on how you wrap it. It stunk a little when I got it, but they all do until you wash them with cold water and hang them out. Wear them a week in a hot climate and they’ll really stink! Mine appears to be a genuine Rothco, which I would say is very good quality. These have a zillion uses other than a headwrap. One suggestion if you are going to wear it “bandit” or “commando” style, don’t listen to the airsoft warriors who tell you to double-knot it; just single-knot it or just leave it unknotted and tucked in front to avoid getting easily choked. Good item overall!

Update on the Coyote color that I also ordered : Same good quality as the grey one. Keep in mind these are made in India, probably on 150 year old looms that Britain left behind, and won’t compare to the exacting tight weave of your Burberry scarf and may have a few pulls or loose threads. Its a schemagh, not a fashion accessory. There’s also a lot of chatter in the comments about the actual shade of Coyote - yes, its not an exact match to the surplus USMC deuce gear that you just bought for your airsoft adventures, but it is an acceptable Coyote brown. Very good product overall.

I like the versatility of it. But after washing it a few times. Some tiny fur falls.
Due to the dark color, it doesn’t have the best sun protection. Which also means it keeps you warm.

Versatile wear and comfort

It is perfect for me. I’m a survivalist and do a lot of bushcraft in various conditions. Now that I know it’s quality, I’ll probably order 5 more.

Great product from seller. Shemagh did not bleed dye nor smell like chemicals.
I let the shemagh sit for an hour or so in a sink of cold water with a little mild soap in it. Very little dye leached out of the fabric. Nice quality material!

Good product. Nice material.

It is larger than other schamag that I've bought and much softer.

It looks cool with no loose threads.
