How do the different types of scarves differ?
In general, scarves differ in their design, length, and material, and thus also in their warmth properties. Our range offers many different types of scarves designed as cotton, wool, or fleece scarves. There are often minor differences between men's and women's scarves, but they are marginal. We also offer some fan scarves that allow for a clear commitment to a club or association or are often used as decoration in cars. Lighter scarf cloths can also be used as headscarves for sun protection.
What color variants are available?
The colors range from simple accents in black, olive, green, and blue to colors with camouflage elements. These can be used for outdoor tours, in the military, or for camping. Our versatile range allows for selection based on personal preferences and inclinations. Depending on the area of use, it is possible to select a scarf or cloth that matches the design of the rest of the clothing optimally.
What is a so-called "Shemagh"?
Actually, Shemags are called "Kufiya" and come from the Arab region, where they are mostly worn wrapped around the head for sun protection - by men only, by the way. The terms Ghutra or Hatta are also used less frequently. Since the former Middle East conflict in Palestine, the headgear also received the nickname "Palestinian scarf." The most famous wearer of such a scarf is probably Yasser Arafat, whose black-and-white Kufiya became a trademark and even a separate expression "Arafat scarf." It was also "borrowed" as sun protection in army circles and is known there as Shemagh. Unfortunately, it is unclear how the term Shemagh came about. Although the fashion accessory, mostly worn as a scarf, has a lot of political and military history behind it, it has also made its way into youth and pop culture with non-political motives.
