Any one have one? Where did ya get it? Color? Thought it would kool for the winter......  ...just thinkin'........... - |
| Got a few from Iraq blue/white and red/white, and a blackhawk od green/ tan one that I use while hunting. They are great for hunting love the fact they are super versatile lightweight and can be styled to breakup the shape of your dome, you can play with the over lap on top for shade for your eyes, they keep the sun off your neck, folded up they are suprisingly warm and draped they keep you cool. There are lots of reasons they havent gone out of use over the centuries in that part of the world. |

I have a green one. I wear it hunting, and used to wear it to school when riding my bike in dust storms. It works great. If I saw someone at my college wearing a shemagh, that would instantly make them a douche. Even if they did serve. 
It's bad enough with all of these douche bags using fucking assault packs for their book bags.

Almost bought a fancy Arafat style one when I was in Palenstine. Knew I'd never wear the stupid thing and passed. A watch cap and neck gaiter work just fine. Urban Outfitters sells those. Liberal hipsters wear those and are NOT being ironic in doing so.

| Picked up a bunch as gifts at a bazaar at the big FOB in Kunduz, Afghanistan. I've got a couple left back in the PI, but I don't have any here in Saudi. They call the big red and white ones "shemagh" here, as well. Much finer than the ones in A-stan, although I believe most of those were made in China. A-stan, by the way, does have a very short border with China. |

I got this one when I ordered this knife from bladehq. I'll never wear it though. http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/JohnnyRend/78f5870b-72b8-455e-8fbb-d05ba67cc580_zps66d7009e.jpg It'd sure be nice if we had some GRENADES, don't ya think? |

I've got about a dozen I've picked up all over the ME. I've taken 6 trips that way, all as a civilian. I use mine mostly for wrapping up guns when I go to the range and don't use a case. I've worn one a couple times out in the woods, but I feel like I'm towing the line of duechbaggery when I wear it. |

I picked one up out of a car that ran a VCP... Never wore it till the hipsters here in the states decided they were the coolest things ever, then started wearing it. The look on peoples faces when they realize it's not only real, but "used" is priceless. Buddy of mine brought me one back from the sandbox. Its well used and ragged. I am a gawd amongst the hipster girls. They love touching it. |

My mom had the nasty thing on our dinning table. She thought it was cool. I thought,
