The iconic green scrim netting scarf has been a trusted companion of the British Army since the 1940s. Versatile in its applications, it serves not just as a warm accessory for the neck, but also as a tool to disrupt the silhouette of the wearer's body or any carried equipment. This practical scarf has been spotted on soldiers in various conflicts, from Northern Ireland to the Falklands and even the First Gulf War, before the popularity of shermaghs emerged.
Its mesh-like construction allows it to be easily adapted, making it an ideal material for crafting camouflage elements for helmets, weapons, Ghillie suits, or hides. The 100% cotton composition ensures durability and comfort, while the generous size of approximately 3ft x 3ft provides ample coverage and flexibility in its usage.
