    Very good I have used them for years. We used to call them scarves. My winter one is a wool Black Watch Tartan the green and blue is a surprisingly good camouflage in the forest. It is about the same size and ties in just the same ways. I have one of newer ones for the summer in dry country, green and green on brown. Lets the air move and makes a bit of shade all to the good. I hear some of the colors and patterns are significant in some parts of the world, be carefull what gang colors you choose.

    • @Joe-pb3bm
      @Joe-pb3bm Год назад

      Most of the natives go with black + white, or red + white. If you're Muslim ☪️, you have a black band around the forehead (honor Mohammed). If you're not wearing it with the black band, you're not impersonating. Of course, folks make a living (natives) making + marketing authentic / original, vs, say, knock offs from *"China," etc..

    • @jimbopaw
      @jimbopaw Год назад +1

      I think that scarves are rectangular, these are square and made of a specific fabric which makes them more versatile.

    • @nonmihiseddeo4181
      @nonmihiseddeo4181 Год назад

      A shemagh (or ghotra or keffiyah) is just a piece of soft woven cloth, which can be the size of a table cloth and any variation of smaller size. If you're in the Middle East, the patterns woven into the fabric will represent a sect or a people group, such as any of the terrorist organizations. They all have their own patterns and colors. So, you can ID who a man is, by his shemagh.
      EDIT: If it's long and rectangular, it's called amamah, which are popular in some countries or during certain times of the year/for certain occasions.

    In Melbourne, Australia where compulsory wearing of face masks became compulsory today, scarves (which I presume includes a shemagh) are considered an acceptable alternative.
    And to think it's not that long ago that we were discussing banning face coverings in public.
    I live well outside the current lockdown zone, but who knows? So I've got a shemagh and some masks on order.
    Thanks for the demo on at least one way to wear it.

      oh jeez, I wish I could get a dime for every time someone claimed to be a percentage of native American. Also by your profile pic, there is no way you are 3/4 or 75% Native American,

      David Horgan you realize Genes dont always physically show what races someone has in them right? If you had paid any attention in highschool biology you would know that. And the US hasnt been around long enough to establish a race of people, you can break down Caucasian into about 3 races, 1, Norse or Germanic 2, Slavic and 3, Latin (im talking Italian) and some may argue even Asian

    I have seen a lot of people use this style out in the deserts around Los Angeles. Once the wind picks up the entire top of there head gets filled with sand. The section he takes under his chin goes around the top of the head in other styles that do not leave you with a literal "sandy blond" look.
