The Shemagh (Scarf) is a large square of cotton cloth worn loosely around the neck. It is the way a shemagh is found and the base form for the other three ways to wear it. It keeps the neck warm and shielded from wind.

Its strength is flexibility. One shemagh can be retied over the face, around the head, or around the whole head and face. Each form fills a different slot and gives different cover. As a neck scarf it is light and costs nothing in speed.

The shemagh comes in a black and white pattern and in Green. It is found in army surplus stores and pawn shops. The Tailor is the best occupation for accessories. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.

Wearing


The Shemagh (Scarf) is worn in the Scarf slot and covers the neck. It keeps in most of the neck's heat and blocks all of the wind there. That makes it a comfortable piece for cold, windy days. It stops about one scratch in ten on the neck.

The plain Scarf gives the same scratch cover and wind block. The plain Scarf keeps in a little more heat and weighs a little less. The shemagh wins on choice, since the plain Scarf stays around the neck.

The Scarf slot sits apart from most clothing, so the shemagh goes with almost any outfit. Only a full suit with a hood clashes with it.

The shemagh changes form through its inventory options. Cover Head turns it into the Shemagh (Open Face), worn on the head and neck. Cover Head Fully turns it into the Shemagh (Fully Closed), which wraps the whole head and face. Scarf Over Face pulls it up into the Shemagh (Face Covering Scarf).

The Shemagh (Scarf) comes in 2 versions with the same stats. Only the look changes.

Locations


The Shemagh (Scarf) is an uncommon find in military and second-hand shops. Army surplus counters and pawn shops are the likeliest places, at about one container in four. Shelves and clothing racks in those shops hold one less often. Camping stores, fishing storage, garden stores and hunting lodges keep the odd one on their clothing racks. Mid and late game survivor safehouses turn one up rarely.

Notes


  • One shemagh can be worn four ways, so a single find covers neck, head and face as the weather needs.
  • Pulled over the face, it gives some protection against the sickness from rotting corpses.
  • The cloth burns, so a spare shemagh can serve as tinder or fuel for a fire.
  • Its slot clashes with almost nothing, so it fits over any outfit.
