Genuinely good quality *****UPDATED*****
I would like to address the recurring complaint about these scarves.Everyone complaining that the material is too thin/weave too loose etc are completely missing the point.I have had several over the years, and have used them as a scarf, towel, sunshade, small knapsack and draught excluder. Perfect when camping to wrap around you when you nip to the shower block, and just plain look good whoever you are. They are supremely comfortable, and I often find mine pretty much lives round my neck. Once I put it on it tends to stay on all day. Plus it means I have something to quickly pull up over my face if I want to avoid the evils from the Karens of the world.It is supposed to be thin and open weave.It is a 15 square foot piece of fabric . If the material was any thicker, or more finely woven, it would be too restrictive, bulky and generally uncomfortable.The whole idea is to use various tying techniques to suit your purpose, (Many, many YouTube videos are out there with detailed instructions for the various methods) with the open weave and multiple layers acting to trap air and insulate you.I bought the black and white two pack. The black one is super black, and the white one is more the traditional looking one (think Yasser Arafat) Upon reciept, I took the time to hand wash in tepid water a few times in the bathroom sink using half a teaspoon of washing powder, rinsed then hung on a radiator to dry, which takes about 15 mins. I don’t use conditioner as it affects the absorption and wicking.The fabric handled washing very well, it dried quickly and without any distortion.In terms of quality, these are good, edges are well finished, with nicely sewn in discreet tags. The tassel knots are even and tied properly and the weight of the fabric is about equal to a genuine Hirbawi (claimed 210g for a 47”x47” vs 190g for the 43”x43” Free Soldier one)The genuine Hirbawi scarf is a little larger (47” vs 43”) but i find this one more than adequate, and i think any any more fabric would be too bulky. (For me anyway)I am happy with these, they exceed my quality expectations (better than my previous scarves) which is difficult to do. So i would happily recommend this brand, and I will be buying more in other colours.********UPDATE******2 months later, having worn one through the peak of winter, attending roadside breakdowns through the night, in sub zero temperatures, and heavy rain. I can honestly say they have been brilliant. I tend to wear the black one for work, and the white/black with my casual wear while not working or indulging in my photography.They are a perfect size for versatility, without excess bulk, and are holding up to being washed twice a week or so (I pop them into one of those 25p re-useable produce bags you can get in Aldi - they are a tie top mesh bag and so far, no tassels have been damaged as a result of a standard 40 degree wash and the dye stopped running a long time ago) The material is now incredibly soft and actually thicker feeling and more flexible so it drapes around your neck so much more naturally. Just like terry towelling it takes a few wear/wash cycles to become the perfect shemagh.Im confident that this brand has the long term quality I’ve been looking for and I’m ordering another set in different colours.

Good quality
Good quality and reasonably colour fast, which I wasn't expecting; the fabric feels a half-decent weight and doesn't irritate when it is hot and sweaty after a day around your neck.

Good value for money
Just spent a week in Morocco (Atlas & Sahara), most of the time outside in direct sunlight looking for snakes.This worked a charm. Good quality and very comfortable.

Comforting practical
Seller recommended of course. Bought this instead of wearing a scarf or buff, for a change. Have CLL. Medical condition. Found I was wearing it nearly all the time. Not to hot, just right. Soft and comforting.. can always be used discreetly as mask. This shemagh is polyester cotton which I think is better. Highly recommended.
