Man Scarf

The silk scarf is a modern day enigma. It's one of the few items that drives fashion but is also a staple for hardcore cowboys. But don't tell a rancher his scarf looks dainty. He's likely to whip you... literally, with a whip.

I remember growing up in Montana; my grandpa, who was as hardcore as they get, would wear a rolled up silk scarf everyday as he was herding cattle and drinking whiskey and such. It always looked badass. My dad, who's a lineman for the power company, continued to tradition.

A rolled up silk scarf provides the perfect amount of warmth around the neck without being too cumbersome. It's great for many different activities in the cold. I still prefer to think of them as being more functional than stylish.
