Pauls 'Bushscarf'.

For a long time I realized the benefits of wearing a scarf/bandanna/shemagh, I have used one for as long as I can remember, and over the years I have had lots of different types, from old British Army shemaghs to high tech modern fabric bandannas and none, really, met with my wholehearted approval.

It took me over year of looking to finally find what I was looking for, and after quite a bit of testing, I'm now happy with Pauls 'Bushscarf'. Its a 72x15 organic cotton scarf. I find cotton the best material in this instance (I have tried many materials, but given the wide number of tasks it has to perform, cotton was best) and this cotton is particularly nice, strong,long stapled and organic. Not too tight a weave, just right.

Its the most versatile piece of clothing you can carry and I don't leave home with out one.

So what can you do with the scarf, apart from the obvious?. well here are just a few things...

-head cover
