Best hint I got: Don't wrap your scarf, as if begging to be strangled! Urban landscapes DO have the sort of criminal psychos going to `help´ you on it. (Muggers) 😉
As a middle aged nerd my favourite scarf is one my mom knitted for me 40 years ago that looks like the scarf on my then favourite TV character Tom Baker's Dr Who. It's 14 feet long and looks ridiculous for most things but that thing is warm and is still as beautiful as it was 40 years ago when I got it.
That will always be a lovely memory of your Mum. Just rock it!
Tom Baker is one of my favourite Doctors and a few years back my brother bought me a TB scarf from the Doctor Who experience in Cardiff. I’ve yet to wear it but I intend on wearing it.
Yep - me too.
As a knitting mom/grandmother, I appreciate your lovely comment.
That's adorable and is more charming cause it shows your appreciative of others and a nice flair of interests!
The US Navy issued me a white silk scarf as part of my flight student kit in '78, I still have it. I heard that pilots in WW1 chose silk scarves because they had to keep their "heads on a swivel" while flying if they wanted to have any longevity. The silk scarves did not cause irritation and rubbing on their necks like other materials.
Point of correction: Bandanas were not worn to keep dust from going down your shirt...they were worn to keep dust from going down your lungs. Also, a wet bandana was a good way to keep cool on the hot trail.
A wet bandana is also good for protecting of smoke during a fire and even comes handy in the case of a chemical attack (although it is definitely not a gasmask)
Mistake #1,5 - mixing up scarfs with neckerchiefs, ties, drapes, etc. They all are great, but each belongs to it's own ensemble
I LOVE my cashmere plaid print scarves. I do the pull through (Parisian) knot only. Classic, not flamboyant or blocky like some of the other knots. Can't go wrong, doesn't require much thought, done and done.
I've stuck with one scarf for over a decade now. The plain black wool scarf with an NSN number on the tag. It just works and goes with everything. One of the best purchases I've ever made.
LOVE a functional neck wrap!!.. I want to add an option not mentioned here. A Scottish sash (yes, the type women wear @ Highland events).. I am constantly 'borrowing' one of my wife's colorful tartan shashes I bought to match my various kilts... as my scarf... it gives just the 'pop' of color and it's SUPER warm on an Autumn or Winter day. Also a silk ascot... Yes, I still wear an ascot and I'm trying to bring that trend back in my own little way.
I have to admit that with your videos and Alpha M my entire wardrobe has changed. Along with my new clothes and shoes and better taste in clothes, I receive countless numbers of compliments. Now I’ve added the fragrance to it and have a nice little collection. Your videos have inspired a lot more confidence! Thanks for your videos and expertise in the matter!
I was gifted a gorgeous floral scarf in blue, charcoal, and soft grey Pashmina.
My winter jackets are all quite dark, and it adds a great pop to any look.
The big thing I notice when wearing wool versus synthetics is breathability.
Wool isn't just a warm, winter season fabric.
The idea is 'it's super itchy' but that's not all wool.
Pure silk doesn't usually dry properly, and can distort with too much moisture.
The best idea is to wear a turtleneck if going with a silk scarf in the winter. It's more a decorative piece that can hold warmth (even when thinner) if well made.
Linen scarves dry fastest, but aren't near the warmest.
Our shop stocks cashmere linen blends, and they're just about the best of both worlds.
Cashmere is warm and retains warmth, linen is breathable and far easier to keep clean.
Both are quite soft, and sit nicely against the skin.
For most wool pieces, guys tend to think of the boiled wools or rough piled sweaters meant to wear over a long sleeved shirt.
But wool is genuinely quite easy to bind and layer, hence 99% of the best suits use single origin wool.
Cashmere, while expensive on its own, can be blended with other, less expensive materials (silk and linen are also blended to make them more versatile and less expensive).
As a statement piece, I like blended pieces as my staples (solids, small patterns), but this Pashmina scarf is a great example of a well made item that flourishes with just a bit more character.
I personally think every guy should have at least 2 scarves, preferably 3. Two solids to use as everyday pieces. And one statement piece. Or one solid and one statement.
I work with so many guys that just want to blend in, not stand out at all, just black everything, or (worse) ill fitting jeans in ugly boots, a jacket that's too big and some junky scarf that they've probably stuffed into the back of their closet for the last 8 months.
Caring about your appearance shouldn't be demonized by other guys, and I agree 100%. Act complimentary and don't be afraid to lift someone up today. God knows we need less tearing each other down.
Being from Texas I'm surprised you didn't mention the wild rag. Typically silk, 44x44 and tied with either a square knot or buckaroo knot. Warm, comfortable and stylish, if ya can pull it off!
When it comes to wearing anything new I discovered that just doing it is the best option. Don't worry about what other people think. Don't second guess yourself. Just put it on and go. It took me a long time to realize that most people don't care what you wear.
I think knowing what something should fit like is also important.
Like, young guys going from joggers to jeans.
They can absolutely look terrible on you, depending on the cut, and definitely on the length.
If a guy is a 29 inseam, wearing a 36 and doesn't know any better, I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility for someone that knows him to tell him they're just too long.
When it comes to adding an accessory (like a scarf) it's definitely less essential to get feedback.
And important to pay compliments forward after receiving them.
You also have to know how to wear something. Just "put it on and go" isn't enough.
@@IlDiavolo2515 Depends on what you mean when you says, you also have to know how to wear something.
A quality scarf is a winter essential in both functionality and fashion. I have several scarves in wool and cashmere; I could always use more. I have one in alpaca that feels fantastic around my neck and does an excellent job of keeping the biting Chicago winds at bay.
I purchase scarves in colors complementary to my outerwear -- primarily in earth tones with an emphasis on browns and blues. I dig herringbone. I do not own any in silk, but I'm looking for cool paisleys or medallions.
One day, for the hell of it, I tried tying a half-Windsor knot with one of my scarves (the very same method I use to tie my ties). It looked great and did the job.
I’ve always thought of two styles of scarf; the square kind, kerchief, shemog, etc. and the long skinny “aviator” style. To my eye, what I saw you showing were all “aviator” style made of different fibers. As far as different types, I would say three; knit, crochet, woven. I’ve crocheted my own scarves for nearly a decade, using anything from inexpensive mass manufactured acrylics and cottons to hand sheered, hand dyed, hand spun wools and hairs from Scottish sheep to South American llamas. I’ll give you dollars to doughnuts, there is an older female in your family that will be more than happy to point you to some lush, ridiculously soft (and, if you want, stupidly expensive) yarn with which she will lovingly craft, for you, a scarf that is just as, if not more, high end” than any mass woven strip of clothe you can buy elsewhere.
That said, thanks for the advice. I taught myself to sew last year, to make clothes, and am replacing my wardrobe to be mostly bespoke. Mainly because I’m tired of mens pants coming in pretty much a shade of beige, black, or blue. Shirts are solid colors unless striped or plaid. I want interesting prints/patterned polychromatic trousers, and shirts that look as though Monet fell in with a bunch of hippies. And I’m making them. Loving the advice on putting it all together with those nice accessory touches.
Oh, love Parisian scarf knot, have a point of making the scarf one hand span wide by wingspan long, just so I can tie it that way. Definitely going to give the four point a try. Another variation on the double wrap, is a single (which I prefer). Place the center of the scarf against the front your neck. Pull the ends back and around the opposite side, crossing it behind your neck. Pull down on the center for comfort. Works great if the scarf won’t go around twice.
Wow! A rare viewer who knows what he's talking about! Very good observations. Always buy quality fibers, and make your own if you have the time.
It dawned on me that a neck tie is just another scarf...just slimmer. Try a full or half Windsor knot in a regular scarf--works just fine.
I wear a top coat when I go out in the colder months and a scarf is a necessity. Solid color, once around and I’m good to go.
My mother went to South America and bought me a 72" alpaca scarf--woven black and white design both sides. Nice, but a bit too thin (flat) to be really warm. I've paired it with both solid black and charcoal grey cashmere scarfs of similar length--lay them one on top of the other, and I do a once or twice around. Works and looks great.
I buy my own baby alpaca fibers and crochet my own, and I am very happy.
Alpaca doesn't need to be thick to be warm.
I use silk scarves purely as an accessory when dressed up. I find a suit, tie, overcoat topped by a silk scarf looks pretty dapper. I usually just wear the silk scarf open. I use flannel scarves for warmth when wearing a trench coat and then I will do it single looped with the ends tucked inside the coat.
I’m a 79-year-old gentleman and I’ve been wearing scarfs most of my adult life. Even as a Boy Scout, we wore a scarf around our neck as part of our uniform. It had practical reasons: to filter water to remove particulates, to cover mouth and nose to protect against smoke and/or airborne sand or dirt. Also to wet and wear around the neck to cool down. IAs an elder hiker, I have replaced the Boy Scout scarf with a shaman when in the woods for all of the same reasons. (although, given the current situation in Gaza, I don’t think I’ll wear it for a while…too many hate filled crazies with guns) When I was stationed in Alaska and out in the windy, cold Aleutian weather, I always wore a wool scarf to protect and warm my neck and upper spine. I also wear a white silk scarf with my tuxedo as an awesome way to look dashing. Sometimes I wear a silk top hat too. But, more frequently I will wear a cashmere, wool or blend scarf with my top coat and leather gloves as I will this weekend when I take my grandkids downtown for an early Christmas activities outside. So, in summary, I have worn scarves all of my life because it makes sense from a practical, comfort, and fashion standpoint. Great video. Keep ‘em coming. Ciao
Wow, fashionable grandpa! I'd be so proud of you as a grandkid!
Besides insulation, my main reason for wearing a (thin) scarf is that it keeps the collar of your jacket clean. It's much easier to clean a scarf than cleaning the collar of your leather jacket...
Its bloody cold in North Texas and ive started wearing a scarf. This video just hit at the right time.
Thanks for doing this video. I have added a few scarves to my wardrobe this year, I wasn't comfortable wearing them. The video clarified everything for me.
Great vid! I've worn them sporadically throughout my life, but now permanently adopted for cold mornings/evenings (even in the desert). My favorite is a plain gray fleece scarf for function. I beat it up, drop it, dog chews on it, sweat in it, wash/dry with abandon...and it always comes back to keep me warm. I have nicer cashmere but I always return to carefree synthetics and I began expanding my collection years ago for style points. Thank you for showing other knots (used 'Parisian' but didn't know name). Spraying with fragrance is a something I do on cold winters days for more cozy feel/aromatherapy.
Love this segment. I have 1 scarf from Afghanistan, 1 from Qatar, 1 from Iraq, and 1 from Kuwait, just love them. Started wearing more wool blinds and pick up a nice silk type from Japan at the Jean shop, goes with all my suits.
Everything you said is so spot on. I'm going to watch more of your videos and get my MOJO back.
Scarves are the best winter fashion accessory. Functional and look great! I love an all black ensemble with a coloured scarf as a pop of colour. Chic!
Thanks for this terrific video on scarves. I've been wearing them for years. It's such an essential part of my cold weather wardrobe I can't imagine not wearing them. I generally stick with the Parisian knot which always looks good with my winter coats and is easy to do to get out the door in the morning. Appreciate the tip on how to wear the four-in-hand style - will definitely give that one a try.
I have a huge collection of scarfs silk, wool and cashmere. I got some light fabrics for spring and fall cool days, The latest one I got is two sequins for those Broadway shows when you want to step it up.
Best ever explained the "Four in Hand Knot" - thank you!
This guy is clearly a professional. I never realized there was so much to a scarf lol. All i wear in this arena is a shemagh i picked up a while back. But its a great item that is very versatile.
I love my Italian linen tan and grey scarf. Works great in the Florida winter.
Solid advice. I've been rocking scarves for forty-some years now.
Really into thinner, softer scarves myself as a day-wear piece, although I'll typically avoid the silken kinds. For me, it's all about function. Few people appreciate just how well you can trick the body into feeling warmer just by insulating the neck. You'll notice it immediately after a cold shower that just by wrapping a towel around the neck, you can get virtually instant relief. Towelling off or wrapping any other part of the body (including the core/torso) doesn't have nearly the same effect. It can even take the place of a sweater in some cases. But here up north where it can get very cold, it's almost a no-brainer. Stylish, approachable, functional. What could be better.
I realized a few decades ago that when it gets cold I don't even need a sweater or jacket. All I need is a scarf around my neck and the rest of my body stays warm. It's amazing how a warm neck can manage the body's temperature.
Hey man, love the channel. Just another interesting fact, the necktie origin comes from a type of scarf the Croatians wore in the past. It was tied the same way as neckties are today. It was noticed by Louis XIV that his Croatian mercenaries, in the 30-year war, wore these to keep the tops of their jackets together. Then the French started it, and it slowly evolved into the necktie we have today.
Thanks to Antonio I have invested in my first leather jacket by Shcott, a bunch of pocket squares, I've bought more sports jackets and I am just learning to buy things based on fit above all. That last lesson has cost me alot of money. Thanks for the great advice and always interesting videos. Happy new year.
I have a red plaid cotton scarf that I have used for the past 70 years. Now I let my grandson use it on occasions. I have picked up more in different colors and materials. p.s. I enjoy your videos'
Great video! I love my scarfs, especially with my peacoats. Learned a couple new ways to tie them from this video.
Shemagh for the win! So versatile. Can be worn to keep the sun off or or keep the cold out. Different ways to fold it and wrap it.
I prefer tying a bandana around my neck like a cowboy. Winter time I use regular scarfs mostly with 70th colours like brown, orange etc.
My favourite scarves are actually a couple of quite large square cotton cloth with a very vibrant and colorful paisley print that was actually sold as a beach wrap skirts.
I bought a bright red alpaca wool scarf on a trip to Peru in August, I’ve been finding ways to wear it all winter. Gotten a lot of compliments
I've actually started to wear a scarf for the first time since I was a kid. I started with a man made fiber one for every day. I usually use the Parisan knot or twice around with it. Those to me seem the easiest and best look to me.
I'm also very in to western style so I got a few silk wild rags too. Those are like a large bandana with several ways to make different looks with. They feel great on your skin and look amazing with western attire.. like the guys in old western movies.
I own several scarfs now but my go to is a solid black shemagh. I like the solid color because it doesn't throw off a middle eastern vibe as much as the traditional fish net patterns and yet it's just so versatile... you can't go wrong.
For those who are safety conscious, i.e. works or frequent in areas where possible personal threat is imminent (I work in Schitcago), I use rubber bands in my scarves to serve as a quick-break or safety-break just in case someone grab & try controlling and/or choking me with it. We all know, if someone have bad & deep intention to hurt you, & once they get hold of your scarf or tie, you better be ready. Just like a clip-on tie for MSG Marines, same idea with a rubber band. Stay safe & stay warm out there!
I have two cashmere scarves (one burgundy, the other a navy plaid) that are the perfect length for a Parisian knot. If they were longer, I would probably opt for the four-in-hand. Both scarves work with almost every outfit I own. I wear them whenever the temperature requires it … not terribly often, since I live in Houston.
Since I like to wear single-breasted jackets and single-breasted overcoats, the scarf not only keeps my neck warm, but also helps keep my chest warm.
I just moved from a hot southern state to the mountains and I can actually wear all of the scarves I have received as gifts over the years! I have a couple favorite wool ones that I switch up with different coats. They still work in a drafty office draped around your neck and I usually do a once-around or twice-around when I’m stepping up the block for coffee when I don’t need a coat. Don’t underestimate the scarf for that something to elevate an outfit for a more ‘put-together’ look.
Scarf tip, they're great for spraying fragrance on! Pick something nice & cosy & you'll get an extra layer of scent through the day. I started with essential oils, but one day I accidentally had some Alexandria II on it & just wow! 👌
Just started wearing Scarfs recently, as my Daughter bought me a Classic Silk Paisley pattern one for Christmas 2021. Then she bought me a Long wool tartan scarf, which is my Clan tartan for my birthday. I wear a long Checked English Tweed Coat, and i have a Crombie top coat too. They look great with my scarfs. They even look great with my Harrington Jacket when its not as cold.
A quarter Windsor knot is good, too, especially for formal occasions.
I tend to do that French knot you mentioned ever since I first saw it years ago. But now I wanna try that 4-in-hand knot.
Also I’ve been a bit pickier with the material my scarf comes in. Certain one are better on the skin then others.
Cashmere or alpaca I say. I'm in the mountains though. My favorite is a orange, white, and gray check pattern from Rampley and Co. Goes with everything.
Saturday morning RMRS!
I made the mistake of buying a nice wool scarf but it was too small for my large frame. Might have been a boys size but, nonetheless, need to get a longer one for these cool knots.
Got it, scarf=dressy casual winter tie.
Thanks for the info, time to experiment.
Great Article! I don't know what I'd do without a scarf. I'm in the SF Bay Area where the incoming fog can turn a nice temperate day into freezing cold along with the wind. There's a famous quote from author Mark Twain who said "the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco". With the addition of a scarf, and maybe a beret and gloves you can completely change your temperature, and also if you're wearing a military type jacket with cargo pockets, everything can be standing by stored in those pockets. I've gotten some nice handmade ones that were gifts from women I've known too; very special when someone made that for you.
I recently picked up some linen scarves from French Connection and Stone Island. They are a great addition. As we get older, the neck is likely to show its age! Scarves can help.
This channel is like a good wine, the more time passes, the better it gets. I follow it since 2010's and it has saved my style in a number of occasions!
Thx. I like the four in hand. Gonna start wearing like that now 😊
Learned a couple new ways to tie one. Thanks :)
Please do more knots for a variety of materials. Thanks enjoyed this very much.
Great ideas. I'm going to try out the Parisian in Paris 🗼 in a few weeks. Thank you!
Thank you for telling me the proper way to wear a scarf! You're a brilliant man. Thanks. DRS.
Happy to help!
OMG, those Ladies in colorful pieces on their heads (1:27) - they just ROCK
My Mother-in-law loves knitting so I got several of them in all patterns.
We usually go shopping for the materials and just like doing those "projects". It's actually pretty fun, yes even with the Mother-in-law. ;)
Loved ur video. I espesially liked the four in hand scarf. Now i know how to do it. Something i heard about today is leather made from olives. I still need to see and feel it. Obviously i like scarves but then i have liked cloth since i was very young my gran was a dressmaker and we wud play in her workroom. Remember the spools of cotton were on wooden reels then thats 1960s/and earlier. Thanks from a grateful gran now myself. Life is good Praise the Lord
A scarf with a turtleneck and overcoat is my signature style. I probably own 10+ all of different styles. Such a flexible and useful option.
Have a number of shemagh’s from plain to fancy . Always get compliments on my fancy ones.
Hi Antonio, I really love how articulate you are, it shows how masculinity dont only manifest in clothing, physical muscles, etc but also masculinity can be manifest through talking with a big stick
I feel inspired to become a distinguished man , like you one fine day Sir
Good video. I've been wearing scarves for years, and not typical men's scarves. I like shemaghs, bright and colorful Pashminas, paisleys, and other scarves usually deemed as women's. I couldn't care less. I even like white aviator's silk scarves. I must own 20 or more scarves.
What a great quality video. They're always on point,but this video was really good.
Love scarfs, easy color accessory, I like to pick up during my travels, they pack easy and brings back memories of the travels. I have scarfs from India, Paris, The Middle East, also have beautiful dress scarf that belonged to my wife’s grandfather.
For me, a scarf in the winter or just cooler weather has become an essential clothing accessory. I mix them up depending on the temperature and wind. A few years ago my wife gave me a scarf a friend of her’s made, and at first, I never thought I’d wear it, almost a ‘quilt’ in multiple cloth types, and a bit out there for a male I thought. I get compliments on it often, with some maybe skeptical of its strange look, but seem to come around as I did after seeing it for a while on my neck - it is about 5in wide and long made of recycled old Japanese kimono, checkered wool, felt, and a strange artificial fur. But the main reason I love it is that is the warmest scarf I’ve ever used. Cuts the wind, soft and comfortable, and really really is warm. It does add some ‘splash’ to anything I wear although only browns, tans and cream colors, and the ‘scarf I never thought I’d wear’ has many asking and wanting to get one (but the person that made it, made only one).
You're killin' it, Devil. Love your channel.
I appreciate that!
In the UK we have College Wraps. University/ College stripes on a doubled wool 5ft long 12ins wide. As you get older they are worn with a Burberry.
Great video. Thanks!
The paisley Cravat and thick alpaca with fringes!
Thank You for the Video 😀
Spun, dyed and knitted my own Merino scarf a few years back. Unfortunately, after I moved, it never resurfaced. Either a whole box of clothes got lost, or one of the helpers took off with it. Now, I have cashmere fibres lined up to repeat the process, but want to weave instead of knit.
Making your own is art, and so unique, it definitely fits your personality.
Wool and any animal fiber is best stored clean and in the freezer, this way, it is 100 % moth proof.
Moths love skin and odour of the body, so a clean fabric is less attractive to moths.
I have been wearing a scarf for a few years and absolutely love the extra warmth as well as the additional color that it brings to my outer garment. The majority of my winter coats are a dark navy blue wool and my go to scarf for all three of these is my burgundy cashmere scarf. It looks great and the color pops without being flamboyant. I do have a comment about this video. You seem to use the zoom in and out features a bit too much and I find that it distracts from the content.
I just bought a navy wool scarf last week. Good video
Great tips! Thank you.🙏🏻
Cashmere is great if you're allergic to wool, too. It's warm and lightweight and it looks terrific.
I rather enjoyed that! Straight into the topic, good pace, kept it interesting and seesm to have covered all the bases/ questions. No attempt to be wacky or amusing, no super-annoying music, no offense-avoiding disclaimers or apologetics. I wish more TH-camrs made decent content like this!
Thanks!
My father was a B-17 gunner. They were issued long, white, silk scarves. He claimed that those scarves kept them alive.
Great vid!
Good Chanel thanks a Lot for your Lessons
WWI aviators also wore scarves to help keep engine oil out of thier mouths. The rotary engines that powered many early aircraft were full-loss lubrication, meaning the exhaust was full of engine oil and as the pilot, you got covered in it.
At the time castor oil was the engine lubricant of choice. As castor oil is also a well-known laxative is has been suggested that early aircraft seats were made from wicker not only to save weight, but to provide drainage as well.
Just a little trivia to add to the military prominence and utility of scarves.
Scarves are useful pieces of kit for sure. I'm a welder/ironworker that does a *lot* of overhead welding and I use two stacked cotton bandanas that have been soaked in a strong borax solution and allowed to dry. The bandanas keep sparks and slag from going down my shirt (painful), the borax provides some fire resistance to the cotton, which will smolder but not ignite when exposed to sparks or welding slag.
For winter prefer classic Burberrys or Daks cashmere scarfs with duffle, sheepskin or trenchcoats.
So living in Florida, we only get below-freezing weather for maybe a week or two per year. I had a single burgundy scarf I bought while in Beijing for a winter, and it was enough. While traveling in the northeast US the last few months, I found a couple relatively inexpensive wool scarves from cheap merchants on eBay, as well as a white silk scarf that came with a peacoat I bought. The new scarves are plaid with green and blue patterns, respectively, and while I don't use them very often, they do take up very little space in the closet for the rest of the year, which makes it justifiable.
As for wearing, in the teens to 30s, I prefer the drape and tuck the slack into my outermost layer, and maybe crossing it over once if it's especially windy. I like how the extra bulk on the chest adds some warmth to my core.
Cowboys in colder areas wear silk buckaroo scarves (also know an Wild Rags). They are quite warm and there are tons of patterns and colors. They are square, and since they aren’t bulky like wool they don’t scrunch up around your neck in an uncomfortable way. The military/middle eastern Schemagh is also great. I wore them in my military career (still do) but most are cotton so if they might get wet search for a polyester blend. I got my cotton/poly blend (less bulky than cotton) from Combat Flip Flops, a veteran-owned company (about $38)
I’ve many scarves. My favourite is a Paul Smith silk and cashmere in blue, I wear it with a cashmere dress coat also in dark navy, but only on formal occasions. I would wear this more often but I’ve lost so many over the years and sadly people have stolen them from restaurants and other functions I’ve attended, so if I can’t keep it with me I leave it at home.
One of my most treasured items is my regimental ascot, a scarf rarely seen today.
Shamaghs rock, used mine all the time.
Cashmere, wool and silk = the best.
I also love Nepalese alpacas, awesome and affordable.
Anyone not wearing a scarf in winter needs to hand in their man card!
Nepalese alpacas? I don't undestand. My baby alpaca fibers come from the Andes mountains, not the Himalayas. And it has to be baby alpaca, not regular alpaca. While in Nepal, I only found fine cashmere pashminas in the tourist shops and no alpaca.
I have three scarves. The first a grey hand knitted alpaca wool scarf that is bulky and ultra warm. The second is a black watch scottish wool scarf I got from my grandfather. It's not as warm as the first but does better against wind. The last scarf I have a black silk aviator that I often tie around my ears under my aussie hat.

Wow, actually make sense that the only knot I new was the Parisian one as I'm actually French and it's the only one I have ever used lol
Someone made me a Dr. Who (4th Doctor) wool scarf. I'm 6'3" and it can go from my foot, around my neck, then down to my other foot. I should get a more dressy scarf for regular, daily wearing. Thanks for this video on different ways to tie scarves.
I have come to wearing scarfs almost throughout the entire year - with the exception of maybe June-August - as a colourful accessoire to my otherwise quite dark clothes. I think that the addition of a colourful striped or checkered pattern can spice up an otherwise very "serious" outfit with black shirt and dark blue jeans or the like. Especially in the winter, a colourful Tartan scarf is my favorite - I picked up some when I was in Edinburgh from a huge store there, which had thousands of patterns, sizes and stuff. There is a brand called "Balmoral" which I really liked. I only bring out the wool when it gets really cold though, meaning: November to maybe February, and switch to linnen scarfs for spring and fall.

Just bought my first one yesterday 👍
Awesome video as always. just a small correction. The first emperor's name is pronounced like chin shi hwong, meaning the first emperor of qin empire, which gives the name to china.
I wear a shemagh all the time they are just so handy.
