That's awesome! I have made other masks but they are complicated. There is lots of measuring and sewing. Making a shemagh is so simple and they can be used for masks, head covering, first aid, and even carrying things. Thanks for watching!
I have been wanting a desert camo shemagh forever, i just never have the extra money , now i can custom make one , or , ya know, my birthday is coming un a couple days , i would happily wear one of your fine garments 😁!
The least expensive would be to find the exact camo and fabric type you want. Look for a local store or order online. I have been able to find all kinds of good quality prints online. Let's say you really want CADPAT. Search for it, perhaps in 100% cotton. Make sure it is around a square meter(a square yard would be fine). Follow this video, and you'll have the exact shemagh you want.
I've made a few other mask designs but there is complicated measuring and sewing involved. This is the easiest by far. I think the best part is the fabric doesn't have to be perfectly square.
I used some 100% cotton I found at a craft store. Just about any fabric from natural, to synthetic, to blends. Some cotton to me feels very stiff until washed a few times, also the dye can bleed a little. So to take care of that I like to handwash the shemagh and hang it to dry a few times.
what kind of fabric do you use? I know everyone says just a "light cotton fabric". But when I go to the store, the ladies there are gonna tell me there are about 10,000 different variations of "light cotton fabric" (just like my wife know 25 different variations of "blue")
I go by feel. To me there are cottons that feel "stiff". I find the softer the fabric the better. Locally we have a store called Fabricland. That's where my friend and I sourced materials the past two years when making our own masks, and as I discovered, making shemaghs. We have even found decent fabric and sewing supplies at Walmart. I just look for a color or pattern I like and feel how stiff/coarse it is. I find shemaghs to be so handy... face mask, head wrap, 40°C days, -40°C days, first aid, carrying items, gear repair, and so on.
Messed with me a bit on that fast forward voice at first lol. Looks really simple, not a bad little project at all. Hopefully I get to use the ones you guys sent us and it gets cold enough lol. We will see.
It's like having Alvin and The Chipmunks teach a class. If it ever gets cold there...damn heatwave climate change whatchumacallit. Thanks for rolling on in.
@@KirkHermary Some strange ass weather for sure man, I dont get it lol. I cant even tell ya how bad I want to see snow, I can almost taste it now after 8 years of starvation haha. Does kinda sound like the chipmunks lol
It's funny how we can see words and wonder, "What the helicopter does that mean???" Before I learned the proper terminology I thought everything you wrap around your neck/face was called a scarf. Thanks for stopping by!
@wannabestreamer.13 hi, excellent question. You want a square 🟥 100cm×100cm would be awesome. You could go a bit smaller, let's say 90cm×90cm... you just want to make sure it can tie around your head/face. Please let me know if there is any other information I can help you with.
Very nice shemagh, I can also do it because of your easy toturial. A must try, thank you for sharing, how you dit it!

Wow that looks easy. A wool shemagh sounds like a nice idea, maybe I will make one of those.
Definitely give it a try sometime. I have also made other masks but they require a lot of measuring and sewing. Thanks for stopping by!
That's really creative👍🏽. Very awesomely made Kirk and so informative 💯. Hope you have a wonderful Sunday evening.

Is there a functional reason you cut and tie knots?
Over time washing, wearing, stretching, etc it will fray. The knots help keep the strands together.

You're welcome. The shemagh is the most useful item in my EDC.

I had to Google "shemagh" because of this video. 😆 I've never heard that term, for some reason. Great video though!
