After being introduced to the Shemagh in the Middle East during Desert Storm, I have become a big fan of this versatile piece of clothing. I use it to keep dust out of my face, soak it in cool water and wrap it around my neck to keep cool in summer, use it as a very warm scarf in winter, and use it as a nightshade while camping. This particular black and silver (its really grey, not "shiney" silver) shemagh is very sharp looking, well made of a heavy, but breatheable cloth. A great pickup and accessory for year round wear.
