Woven pattern breaks up outlinesThis shemagh is woven in Pakistan, using locally dyed yarn.  It is machine-washable.  5col Survival Supply recommends that this shemagh be washed and dried by itself to set the colors prior to washing with other clothing.  This type of scarf is made with a loose-weave, so that it breaths and retains moisture properly for its intended use.  However, this means that imperfections should be expected and accepted.  We sell this Shemagh as a utility item and useful tool, not as a fashion accessory.
