Rothco Shemagh Tactical Desert Keffiyeh Scarf

The shemagh is nice, but the loose weave at the edges and stray threads that were not tied in with the already short tassels make it a bit hard to justify its price. Thus, it was returned for a refund.

For those unsure when first touching it: The material will prove it's quality to the touch after a first wash. very happy with it.

コンドルのシュマグも持っていて、あまりに暖かくて使い勝手がいいのでロスコの商品も購入しました。 やはり暖かい。 この商品も前述のメーカーのお品も、厚手と表現されていますが実際は透けるほど薄いです。しかし簡単に破けることもなく使えるので、シュマグとはそういう物なのでしょうね。 薄くても、重ねると意外なほど暖かい。 ひざ掛けや肩掛け、マフラーとして使うと空気を含んで体温保持に非常に効果的です。 薄いので畳んでしまえばかさ張らない。 この商品は開封時に海外製品特有のにおいがありましたが、洗濯したら気にならなくなりました。薄いのであっという間に乾くものいいですね。 製造地のタグが縫い付けてあるのが目立ちますが、これはいずれ取り外そうかと考えています。 室内でも羽織ったり頭にかぶったりすると、とても暖かくて気に入っています。

サバゲーで首元ガードで使ってます。 洗濯しても経たりは無かったです。

Good quality shemagh, like the ones you find overseas. Mine was made in India, and was woven material, not a dyed pattern. I think people who never had a “shmog” think that they are thick woolen scarves and comment that they are “poor quality and thin”. They are realatively thin linen material with a lumpy weave that will keep your neck and head surprisingly warm or cool depending on how you wrap it. It stunk a little when I got it, but they all do until you wash them with cold water and hang them out. Wear them a week in a hot climate and they’ll really stink! Mine appears to be a genuine Rothco, which I would say is very good quality. These have a zillion uses other than a headwrap. One suggestion if you are going to wear it “bandit” or “commando” style, don’t listen to the airsoft warriors who tell you to double-knot it; just single-knot it or just leave it unknotted and tucked in front to avoid getting easily choked. Good item overall! Update on the Coyote color that I also ordered : Same good quality as the grey one. Keep in mind these are made in India, probably on 150 year old looms that Britain left behind, and won’t compare to the exacting tight weave of your Burberry scarf and may have a few pulls or loose threads. Its a schemagh, not a fashion accessory. There’s also a lot of chatter in the comments about the actual shade of Coyote - yes, its not an exact match to the surplus USMC deuce gear that you just bought for your airsoft adventures, but it is an acceptable Coyote brown. Very good product overall.

This is beautiful, great quality, would buy again, definitely recommend, might buy more colors
