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.

Bought it on a whim, works great as a scarf in winter, and is really comfortable and surprisingly warm despite the lighter weight of the cotton fabric.<br /> <br /> Leaving aside the potentially problematic politics surrounding keffiyehs and shemaghs, definitely a really good scarf.

I own several and have used them extensively (altho many service members kept them on the package to give to their kids back home). <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> Get 2 for your pack, rotate another 2 for daily use and get some for the family, they really are multi purpose.

a nice patterned shemagh with frilled ends. authentic. not sure if mine was issued or not, but certainly in good quality. no tag to be seen, so maybe removed by the previous owner.
