I had a Shemagh from my friends tour in Afghanistan. My shemagh was stolen, and I wanted a replacement. So I purchased the Rothco Shemagh Tactical "Scarf" in TAN. I must say I love this Shemagh. Now it doesn't have the same story as my old one, but this works great. It's a light weight material that breaths nice, and covers up all skin from the sun. Not too light to where it will tear, and can be used as other things. It comes in a square of 42'' x 42''. You can use it as a Shemagh, and use the correct wrapping patterns or cut it into fourths, and have four bandannas. Great item, and built to last.
