Tan Shemagh Desert Scarf

Rothco Desert Shemagh

A shemagh is a large square cotton scarf, the traditional headwear of desert regions, and it is built to keep sun, sand and wind off your head, face and neck. This Rothco version comes in tan with a black woven pattern and measures 42 x 42 inches, which is enough cloth to wrap fully around the head or pull up over the nose and mouth. Hikers, hunters, desert travelers and anyone putting together a field kit will find it useful.

Features

• 100% Cotton Weave — Woven cotton is light, breathes in the heat and softens with use.
• 42 x 42 Inch Square — The square folds into a triangle for wrapping, with plenty of length left to tie off.
• Traditional Shemagh Pattern — A black woven pattern runs across the tan base, with banded borders near the ends.
• Tasseled Ends — Knotted cotton tassels finish the ends in the traditional style.
• Head Wrap Or Face Cover — Wear it as a full head wrap, or pull it up over the nose and mouth to block dust and blowing sand.
• Neck Gaiter Use — Looped around the neck, it shields skin from sunburn and wind.
• Tan Colorway — The neutral tan blends with desert and dry-country terrain and matches coyote and khaki gear.
• Made In India — Rothco manufactures this scarf in India under model number 8537.
