Shemaghs

Did you know that you can wear a shemagh all year round? It protects against both heat and cold. Wrap the shemagh around your neck in cold weather, and when it’s hot, dampen it with cold water and wear it on your head. The shemagh (keffiyeh) is also known as an Arab scarf or PLO scarf, with origins in hot climates where it has been used to shield from the scorching sun. Many armies, including the British and American forces, have utilized these in desert warfare. It is most commonly worn in the Middle East.
