Silk Scarves and Wildrags

The Wild Rag is a larger, more elegant scarf most commonly worn by western range-workers.  It dates back as far as the mid-nineteenth century and is often cited as deriving from neckerchiefs adopted by cavalrymen in the Spanish-American War.

Functionally it provides both warmth and coverage while out on the trail, protecting riders from exposure to unpredictable weather across harsh terrain.

It has been widely adopted as western-wear standard uniform, adorning cattle drivers, cowboy poets, and rodeo stars alike.  For horsemen and women in the colder climates of the Rocky Mountains and high plateaus it is considered an absolute essential.

The larger size of a wild rag, a minimum of 35 inches square, allows for any number of uses that range from practical to fashionable, ideally both!  It provides more protection over the head, face, and neck than a bandana and can also be tied and styled with more variety.
