A Shemagh scarf as Dutch army surplus. How cool is that - a Western military institution adopts a piece of Middle-Eastern classic headwear to its own use, and with a nice traditional "camouflage" pattern too.
Size: c. 110 x 110 cm (43" x 43"). The size can vary a bit up or down because apparently, it isn't precision engineering in the army. The shemagh is usually utilized folded as a triangle (i.e., in half). Then it can be wrapped around the head, leaving parts exposed if needed. Here is an illustrated guide on how to wrap the shemagh the "proper" way. Bandanas and capes aside, this can be used as a makeshift bag or a bandage - just use your imagination.

Mine was issued and probably never used.
The storage smell wasn't bad and a wash cured that quickly. It still shed green dye.
They even dyed the label!
Thorough men those Dutchies.
Added info: It is a thicker Shemag than the Mil tec one. Although that one is warm enough, this version is a bit better, stronger and warmer.

These are the real deal, forget mil-tec copies that wont keep you warm and rip easy, these are solid thick cotton. I actually wrap my baby in it(for real). They stand up to real use, are thick enough as a water filter(boil the water as well obviously), will hold your valuables when used as a makeshift bag and as a bandana or worn traditionally they will protect you from the elements.
Get 2 for your pack, rotate another 2 for daily use and get some for the family, they really are multi purpose.
