Please note: Every scarf comes with a tag that states the artisan handweaver’s name. Due to the hand-made quality, each scarf is unique and may vary slightly from the pictured.

Hand wash cold or machine wash using a mesh bag and gentle cycle. Only use mild detergents. Hang dry.

Please note: After washing, the handspun khadi yarns may become softer and develop a crepe-like texture. This effect is called gudi mudi meaning "scrunched cotton" in the local language of Maheshwar.

ABOUT THE ARTISANS

In a collaborative spirit WomenWeave has interpreted Last Chance Textiles's hand-drawn plaids into scarves since 2017.

WomenWeave is a registered Charitable Trust based in Maheshwar, India that has supported the role of women in hand-loom weaving since 2002. Their work focuses on making handloom a sustainable, dignified, income-earning, and life-improving activity.

Product Reviews

Out in the Wild

Ansell in Ruby

Love this colorway! I’ve been wanting a cowboy scarf for several years and these colors did it for me. The quality is wonderful, just what I expect from Last Chance. However I prefer the Cowboy Scarves without fringe, for me the style is as beautiful but more practical.

Beautiful quality

I've been wanting a cowboy scarf for a while, and this one is beautiful. I was hoping for bolder colors, but the photos are accurate. This scarf tends to register as pastel when I wear it.

Ranch Life

I live on a small ranch and love wearing this during the changing season. The perfect light scarf.

Lovely material!

I own 4 cowboy scarves and love the quality textiles used to make them. I knocked off a few stars because I wish the size was more uniform. Each of my scarves fits a bit differently with two fitting/sitting a little better than the other two. Hoping for new colorways in 2024!

Hi Sara,

Thanks so much for your review and for collecting and loving our cowboy scarves! We are already working on some new colors for Fall 24. Here's some information in regards to sizing that you might find helpful with your next purchases.

1. There is a variation of a 1-3 inches that is unavoidable due to the handmade nature of the yarn and weaving. The handspun yarns shrinks (we pre-wash/shrink in our finishing process) unpredictably. There is also some variation due to different weavers handiwork. For example, we could give two weavers the exact same plan and dimensions but the results have some variation because everyone weaves a little differently on the loom. This is similar to gauge/tension with hand-knitting. The lack of precision is a trade-off with the lovely nature of handwoven fabrics.

2. Please note that we have roughly two distinct sizes in our handwoven cowboy scarves. Amboy and Lyle are 34-36' square. Bodie, Winslow, and Olema are 44'-48' square. So it may be you prefer one of these sizes over the other. I appreciate your feedback as it has given me some food for thought. Perhaps I need to think of a way to better distinguish these two size ranges on the website. Like 'large' and 'xtra-large'.

Thanks again,

Lindsey

A true classic

The quality of scarves/bandanas Last Chance Textiles produces is nothing short of amazing! This is my 2nd cowboy scarf; I love them so much. This one is stunning in it's own simple way -- it's a classic staple you can have your whole life that will go with anything.
