Shemagh, Scarf, Standard Weight, Green/Black

Description

This large sized (110x110cm) Arab scarf and head dress has become almost standard issue across the British Army.

Green and black pattern, exact shade of green may vary between batches, all shades are suitable for our military customers.

Widely used by British Army Training Team (BATT) personnel in Oman in the 1970’s and swiftly adopted by Special Forces and the ‘big’ army thereafter.

Hugely versatile, these can be scarves against the cold, wind and dust, a sun screen or towel.

Equally popular on UK training areas as they are in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Balkans. The diverse climates of these theatres shows the versatility of this item.

When folded correctly these will fit into the poachers pocket of an SAS smock or a webbing pouch, you need never be without it…
