How to Tie a Shemagh - Military Style

If you thought this tutorial was good, you should check out all of these other things you can do by folding a shemagh! Use a shemagh to make haversacks, pouches, and even backpacks. Click here to see: www.outdoorcor...

I just received my first shemagh (an import from Afghanistan, actually) and this is the first video I watched about how to use it. Thank you for the simple instructions.

Very good I have used them for years. We used to call them scarves. My winter one is a wool Black Watch Tartan the green and blue is a surprisingly good camouflage in the forest. It is about the same size and ties in just the same ways. I have one of newer ones for the summer in dry country, green and green on brown. Lets the air move and makes a bit of shade all to the good. I hear some of the colors and patterns are significant in some parts of the world, be carefull what gang colors you choose.

[@Joe-pb3bm]

Most of the natives go with black + white, or red + white. If you're Muslim ☪️, you have a black band around the forehead (honor Mohammed). If you're not wearing it with the black band, you're not impersonating. Of course, folks make a living (natives) making + marketing authentic / original, vs, say, knock offs from *"China," etc..

[@jimbopaw]

I think that scarves are rectangular, these are square and made of a specific fabric which makes them more versatile.

[@nonmihiseddeo4181]

A shemagh (or ghotra or keffiyah) is just a piece of soft woven cloth, which can be the size of a table cloth and any variation of smaller size. If you're in the Middle East, the patterns woven into the fabric will represent a sect or a people group, such as any of the terrorist organizations. They all have their own patterns and colors. So, you can ID who a man is, by his shemagh. EDIT: If it's long and rectangular, it's called amamah, which are popular in some countries or during certain times of the year/for certain occasions.

In Melbourne, Australia where compulsory wearing of face masks became compulsory today, scarves (which I presume includes a shemagh) are considered an acceptable alternative. And to think it's not that long ago that we were discussing banning face coverings in public. I live well outside the current lockdown zone, but who knows? So I've got a shemagh and some masks on order. Thanks for the demo on at least one way to wear it.
