Premium Shemagh Head Neck Scarf

Really cool pattern that was the same color I expected. It was a birthday gift and the recipient absolutely loved it. There was no foul smell to this one like others have reported. IMO the quality is better than what you should expect for the price, it is thin but they are supposed to be. Don't expect this to be a heavy winter scarf, that's not what they're designed for, although I wear mine plenty in the winter just as a buffer to the wind. Do not put these in the washer! Hand wash and hang dry only! Squeeze the water out without wringing it before you hang dry. It won't need washed often so take care to do it right when it does need it. Comes with a hundred and one uses, these are nice just to keep in your car or jacket pocket because you never know when you'll need a shemagh!

Really happy with this shemagh scarf. The quality is great, and I love the variety of patterns available. It’s not super thick, but it worked perfectly for what I needed. Definitely recommend!

Nice quality and soft.

I bought this Shemagh years ago when I was younger and wore it a lot. The quality isn’t amazing, but for around $11, it’s more than fair. It looked good, held up through casual use, and worked in both cold and sunny weather. It’s not really my style anymore, but I still have great memories wearing it. If you want something affordable and decent for light use or fashion, this one’s a solid pickup.

This shemagh is the best I have seen. I have bought several when I have come across them in stores. Usually it was Army Surplus type stores, and I don't remember the brands of all the different ones that I have purchased. For a variety of reasons, I have never like the ones that I have purchased in the past. One of the biggest issues I with other brands that I have purchased in the past is that the material has been too heavy. To feel it, you would not think it was too thick. But, my the time you roll it up, or wrap it as a scarf, they have been rather thick and heavy. Wearing them in warmer weather, they have almost been unbearable. It is almost like wrapping a towel around your head or neck. This shemagh is very lightweight, and yet very durable. When rolled, it is not overly bulky. Yet, I don't feel like it is too thin. It is just excellent the way is!! Thick enough to be durable, but thin enough to be used in many weather conditions. One other feature that I like about this shemagh, compared to others that I have seen, and is not mentioned in the product description is the corners. The edges have knots and then frayed material. Many are that way all the way around. If you lay it out flat on the floor, the corners are easy to locate, but when you are standing up and trying to fold the shemagh, finding the corners is not as easy as you would think. Many styles of wraps require you to find the corners and fold it in half. WIth this shemagh, the corners are longer, and braided, to make it easy to find them, and to distinguish them from the rest of the tassels all along the edge. It makes it really easy to find the corners, do your folds, and get it tied up correctly. I can't say enough good things about this shemagh. I took a gamble and ordered 4 of them, because of the different colors, and I will be ordering more.

I was working in a warehouse that was unheated and would wrap this around my head and neck. It kept me very warm and comfortable. It good quality, easy to breathe through, and washable. The size of it makes it big enough to wrap and not feel tight on my head and face.

Very Nice, but NOT 100% COTTON! Put a flame to a tassel and you will see it melt, ball up, and drip molten material. Must be polyester or blend of synthetics. They advertise it as cotton, but the one I received was definately not. If that is not a concern for you, read on... This is a very solid material. It is slightly scratchy. Might be some wool, or goat hair, or camel hair in it, who knows? It does not come with a label for country of manufacture or materials. The scratchiness might go away after a couple washings. It is not exactly square, but nice and large, a full 44 inches not counting the tassels, which by the way are longer than tassels of some other shemaghs, and all four sides are tassled. Some other brands only have tassels on two sides. This Shemagh arrived properly packaged and it was clean and neat and did not have any foul odors or nasty stains. When I washed it, the color did not fade (Green and Black). I washed it by hand first, expecting the dyes to run, but they did not. After first use, I washed it in the the washing machine along with my towels, and still no fading can be seen. Here are some washing tips: I used one of those little zipper bags that my wife uses for delicate items, just to make sure it didn't get pulled apart in the washing machine. The open weave of these fabrics can get snagged on the machine or on zippers if you wash it with other items. Use cold water only. Don't put it in the dryer unless you want to tempt your fate with shrinkage. Just hang it up somewhere and let it dry. The fabric is thin, so they air dry pretty fast anyway. If you don't mind synthetic fibers, this Shemagh will do the job, and with that in mind I give it five stars.

I will not vote this 1 star; and heres why. Many people complain about how this isn't the thickest material, and the weave is bad so it falls apart easier, compared to professional middle eastern shemaghs. And heres the thing; there 100% correct. The weave on this isn't good, and after very little use I can see the stitching already begin to come apart, and can tell it's begun to come apart. But it does exactly what it was advertised to do. The colors look great, and they do not fade. I got the product in prestine condition, with no rips or missing fabric. They wash and dry great, and don't need any special attention, which would be required for a "traditional" shemagh. This is a mass produced item made for those that would like to own a piece of culture, or a nice looking fashion accessory. This IS NOT a traditionally made Shemagh with the purpose of sheltering you from the weather of a middle eastern desert; and never once was I left with that impression before buying it. So again, yes this product has it's flaws. However, the price does not lie. This is not the best shemagh you can find; however it fulfills it's role perfectly. Do not be put off buying this item by reviewers that demand all items be perfect and traditional. This is not a $80 shemagh hand crafted by someone in Palestine. This item is exactly what it's supposed to be; And I recommend it to all.
