I've been through the Military Surplus stores and to the gun show booths looking for a shemagh. Most are made in Pakistan (preferred) or India (lower quality). Most come in one of two weights, regular (preferred) and lightweight (too thin/loosely woven for my taste). And most come in a standard color range that includes any combination of OD green, sand, forest, red, yellow, blue, black, and white. This particular color -- Blue-Green & Olive -- I haven't seen anywhere except Amazon. And it was exactly what I wanted. The shemagh that I received is made in Pakistan, there is no strange odor, the knots around the edges are secure, and there are no visible holes. Plus, the price was great and shipping was fast. I'm totally pleased.
