Product description

A square scarf is something everyone should have: it's stylish and versatile, as well as comfy. Here's a Merino woolen scarf to offer better functionality, even more comfort and blend in better - without age-old woven patterns. The wool is so fine that this doesn't even itch.

As so often with fashion, armed forces have been the forerunners (in the West) who realized the practical value of square scarfs. The British men at arms have been using shemaghs for over 70 years and in the Gulf War it was introduced to American forces as well.

The Varusteleka Large Square Scarf is, for all intents and purposes, just a really nice 110 x 110 cm / 43" x 43" shemagh made of Merino wool, and it lacks the tell-tale fishnet pattern weaves. Merino wool retains more insulating properties even when wet, and is generally regarded as the best thing you can wear next to your skin.

The scarf of a million uses

A square scarf warm and comfy when folded as a triangle and worn around the neck, but can be tied to cover the entire head, leaving just a slit for the eyes to protect the wearer from elements. But that's not all! Here's a list of examples how to use this Swiss-Army Knife of wearable stuff:

  • Dust protection.
  • Sun protection.
  • Swag-bag.
  • Arm sling.
  • Blanket.
  • Pillow.
  • Picnic cloth.

The scarf is flat enough so you can close most jackets while wearing the scarf. Also, here is an illustrated guide how to wrap a square scarf properly.

I’ve never been a scarf or bandana person, but I got this on a whim when Varusteleka had their merino sale. Let me tell you, as soon as I unrolled it from its cardboard package sleeve, I gasped and immediately fell completely in love with it. It’s so soft and luxurious-feeling. I quickly looked up how to properly wear a shemagh/head and neck kerchief and now I find myself wearing it everywhere. I’ve been planning my outfits around it. It’s just so practical and keeps my poor vampire skin from turning into toast in the oppressive summer sun. When inside buildings with the A/C cranking, I just wear it like a shawl and it keeps me warm. It’s not too hot, which I was worried about when folding it and essentially making it as thick as a sweater. It just wicks sweat away and helps keep you feeling dry. I imagine in the colder months it will work fantastically as well. I only wish it came in more colors! I’d get one of each.

Durable, comfortable, thin and stretchy. A really useful thing as a base scarf or as a liner under your hat in really cold weather.
