Shemaghs - Non houndstooth\Herringbone.

[Grim.]

Thanks to overly religious parents, whom I'm stuck under for a few more years, I'm not allowed to wear any Shemaghs that have a Herringbone or Hounds tooth pattern on them (Most Shemaghs do).


The options I've found so far are limited to Spartan Blade's shemagh, where in place of HT\HB they have a waved pattern.

So as much as I'd like to just disregard their rules, go behind their backs and be able to excuse it because it's my money... I wont.

No spoiler tags, so I wont put in why... it'd belong in W&C anyways.

Really!!
The issue is with the pattern and not the actual garment?
Just get the right size cut from a solid colour of your choice of material.

Also according to my ever so wackadoodle parent's religion, can't be a mixed cloth. So yeah, to split hairs, it is the material, garment and the pattern. Happy mate?

So you either only skimmed the OP, didn't read anything past the first two lines, or just chose to ignore it.

If it makes it any clearer, I'm asking for companies that produce a shemagh in a non HT\HB pattern, preferably a US company, just because I'd rather buy local. Spartan Blades is nice, but I'm not entirely sure it's what I'm looking for.

well i would like to put in my two cents, but you didnt seem too keen on taking the advice of Spiggles... he was trying to help and you were kind of a knob. Regardless, here is what i know: there is this new thing called the "internet" and it has millions of sights and ideas on it for almost anything you would want. I'd recommend doing a "google search" for images and see what comes up. you may be able to answer your own question without having to be rude to anyone else.

Best of luck.

P.S. I did read your whole post and you didn't mention anything relating to mixed cloth or the material... only the pattern, so before you jump down someones throat for trying to help you, you should read both your own posts and his or you will find you won't get far in this forum.

I second Spiggles suggestion. Go to a fabric store. Find a material that is not a mixed cloth in a pattern you like, and cut your own. Save your hard earned money and maybe the initiative will help impress on your parents that the amount of control they can enforce is limited.

Sorry, can't resist: don't be so grim, Grim. Try googling "military scarves" or something other than shemagh. ArmyNavySales has them in foliage green and in desert brown. USA made.

If you're looking for something more fashionable than solid colors, keep searching images and then visit the page with the style you like.

Google "solid shemagh" and you'll come up with quite a bit available, including [removed].

ETA: Thumbs-up to the OP for not bucking his parents. You'll appreciate their convictions more as you grow older and they'll appreciate your respect as well. Good luck with your search.

 

[Spiggles]

Grim, read post 2 again, carefully this time, and if it still does not work for you, get a boonie. Twat.

 

[Tim20637]

Any specific reason it has to be a shemagh? Or is just the fashion of the garment you're interested in?

I read the entire post and saw the same thing as Spiggles. Nothing about mixed cloth. This isn't whine and cheese, where we go out of the way to insult each other. If you don't like someone's advice you don't need to take it.

Let me start this post off with this,
@Spiggles I didn't mean to "jump down your throat", so I'm sorry if you (they) felt offended when I said that you skimmed. My lack of sleep is no excuse for being a prick. The mixed cloth was supposed to be part of a

Spoiler

I'd written that'd enable people (who felt like reading into the situation, for kicks and giggles.) could if they felt like it. So honestly, I'm sorry.

@Shann This isn't whine and cheese, there's no profanity or long religious rants in here. I didn't go out of my way to attack him, he made a sardonic comment to which I replied in a less than civilized way. I owed an apology to him and it's been given.

@Tim I'm going to some dunes in eastern WA soon, I'll be spending a month or so out there and would like something decent for when we get some high winds, inevitable. I'm also in the middle of planning a trip to Israel with some friends, we're thinking about taking a little walk and having some fun, Shemaghs modern use, while partially is representative of the religion of Islam, they're also a great dust mask. They're generally very large, tightly woven, but light so they can cover quite a bit of a person if draped.

@CRM Thanks, a lot of people don't see the point in it.

@Liam It's not so much an act of rebellion, while I may disagree with their choice of religion and their ways of, well, enforcing it, I'm only looking for one because they're practical. I'm not going around the house screaming "Praise Allah!". Thanks.

[Sarcasm]OH WOW, THE INTERNET? IS THAT SOME NEW INVENTION THAT'LL REVOLUTIONIZE OUR LIVES? WOW, WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD OF THIS? I CAN MAKE INDEXED SEARCH AND BUILD MY OWN ONLINE DIARY NOW? YAY![/Sarcasm]

Act like a donkey, you're still just a mule. I have no problem apologizing to people who I've done wrong by, that said, I also have no problem acting worse than I have before to people who just ask for it. I hope you see the hypocrisy in your post. You know, saying that I was being rude then proceed to act, well, what I'm assuming is like yourself. You could also refer to Spiggles second post on this thread, yeah, just screaming friendly.

well i would like to put in my two cents, but you didnt seem too keen on taking the advice of Spiggles... he was trying to help and you were kind of a knob. Regardless, here is what i know: there is this new thing called the "internet" and it has millions of sights(Great job there, you must be an engineer.) and ideas on it for almost anything you would want. I'd recommend doing a "google search" for images and see what comes up. you may be able to answer your own question without having to be rude to anyone else.

So to recap, Spiggles, I'm sorry for my first response to you, it was rude. Your second post, after letting others come to your rescue as the keyboard warriors tend to do, was inappropriate.
Everyone who posted something that wasn't sardonic, and or hypocritical, thank you.

I did this as well. I made my own because, well, I wanted a solid color from one organic material (not a poly blend BS). Truth be told, I'll never wear it as is depicted in the movies or video games. I spent a long time in Afghanistan and never wore one once. IMO it has it uses but unless you are in the Middle East you just look like a jack-hole wearing one....even in the woods. An OD green cravat worn as a bandana around the neck was all I needed.

Back in the day when I was high speed Airborne Infantry we used to wear the OD cravat from our combat lifesaver bag around our neck like a bandana, and when we made our attacks we put them over our faces like the outlaw cowboys of the old west. It was quite impressive....after all my Platoon was called "The Outlaws" so we had to.....

I guess I didn't really see it as rebellion so much, but it could be read that way. I don't mind religion - I do mind unnecessary legalism. But that is a conversation for another forum. If it helps any, the shemagh, by various names, is worn all over the middle east, by arab and jew alike. Color varies, but not much else. There is no reason it could not be compatible with any of the local religions.

Very cool! I think it's justified wearing a shemagh around your neck and face when you're going 70 on sand dunes on a bike or quad with paddles accompanied by four or five other riders.

Jews are told not to wear them due to the pattern 'belonging'(in the religious communities) to Islam. While both Islam and Jews alike are not to wear mixed cloth. The parents are what, I believe they call, messianic. Although at this point, it's really just their own personal blend of bible mixing.

Agreed on the other parts.


So to those of you who helped, thanks. I'll probably just order from Spartan assuming it fits the bill on second glance.
