Location: DUMPING CATS AND PIGS IN TEXAS :) | Ok. I saw something on Facebook this morning and it is all I can think about now. There was a married dude wearing a silk, man scarf. It wasn't the normal, throw over your shoulder, knit scarf to keep warm. It was a silk, color coordinated, scarf tied around his neck in intricate detail and he appeared to be rocking it at a club with his wife.
Now, I have never seen this before and my question is, do any of you dude's wear a man scarf and, if you do, why.....and, can I see some pictures?
That is all. Thanks :) |

sooooo.....I see you're wearing a silk neck scarf and it matches nicely with your shirt.........how many do you have? Is you neck toasty? Has anyone ever beat the crap out of you for wearing one? I guess if you did get the crap beat out of you, you would have a nice scarf to control the bleeding......Can I wear your silk man scarf for a little while? How did you get it tied like that? etc..etc...etc..... |

That's a good one...but, not many "beat" this one. I'm still giggling about it :)
Police: Woman stabs man with ceramic squirrel for not bringing home beer on ChristmasMonday, December 30, 2013  A South Carolina woman is accused of stabbing her husband with a ceramic squirrel for not bringing home beer from the store early Christmas morning. The Charleston County Sheriff's office says in a report that deputies found a man covered with blood when they arrived at Helen Williams' North Charleston home early Wednesday. She told investigators the man fell and cut himself, but couldn't explain why her hands and clothes were also bloody. Deputies say the man said Williams was so angry when he returned without beer because stores were closed on Christmas Eve that she grabbed a ceramic squirrel, beat him in the head, then stabbed him in the shoulder and chest. Williams was in jail Friday and charged with criminal domestic violence. It wasn't known if she had a lawyer. |

Common everyday where here in the dead of winter, I even have kids at school wear them, not a big deal and so sexy.

Location: Bastrop, Texas | I'm a little crazy and different, but when I am freezing my ass off, it isn't my neck that gets cold. I hate wearing jewelry (watches, rings, chains, etc...). I even hate wearing gloves because I like feeling what I'm touching. I would never wear a scarf. If it's a fashion thing, I wouldn't wear it either. I hate things around my neck, probably because I have a 17 inch neck. I hate ties and shirts with tight collars. If I wore a scarf, it would make my neck look even larger than it is, so I would look like Jabba The Hut.

They do not cause itching like your "regular" scarf would. My husband and kids each have a drawer full - just so they have the color they want. |

The Facebook dude was a little fluffier, wearing a pull over sweater and had a color coordinated silk scarf (smaller one) tied intricately around his neck with a cowboy hat on. Tan and pale blue.
However, I must admit that any man wearing a silk scarf to go out in makes me roll laughing. If it's serving a purpose on the trail cool, but to dress up to go out.....dude was dressed better than his woman. You know the old saying, "never go out with a dude that uses more hairspray than you or stands in the mirror longer than you." |

Location: Lost with the rest of the MINIONS! | Methinks it doesn't get cold enough in LA to warrant a wild rag? My hubby won't go outside without one from Oct-May; this includes chores or trips to town. (But they are in no way fluffy, fancy, or girly.) He has everyday ones and nicer ones for occasions. I have started to borrow them myself during the cold months. |

lol....so true, calling a silk scarf a wild rag is not doing it for me lol.....I'm going to go ahead and file silk scarves in the same category as fanny packs and banana hammocks, neither of which will get my ovaries to come out and play lol. |

Over here, we use "rags" to mop up dog poop on the floor. Girls often call a tampon a "rag".
If someone is wearing an ugly garment, it's sometimes called a "rag". A bad newspaper, such as the Minneapolis Tribune is uniformly referred to as a "rag". Even a bad baseball team is referred to as "rag" tag. I don't want any of these things on my neck. I can see men from Texas needing something to keep their pencil necks warm....after all, it does get bitter cold down there, especially if you are a sissy. On the rare occasion a Texan winds up here in the winter, they usually need lots of kleenex to go along with their cute rags because the cold makes them cry. |

That's like that scene from Night at the Museum 2 where Napoleon, Ivan the Terrible and the gangster are asking the Hank Azaria character about his dress and he's saying, "it's not a dress, it's a tunic." They can't quite get over that and finally he says, "are there any more questions not about my dress?" Then they lower their hands.....no more questions lol....

Seriously though, I can see where they could come in handy. You can use your rag to wipe snot, sweat, and even your butt, in a pinch.

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | The cowboys that I knew back in the good old days used their wild rags as a tool while working cattle in the dry dusty pens where the dust was so thick you could not see or take a clean breath, they used them to cover their faces so they would not be sucking in all the dust. So there was a reason for the rags for most, not to look pretty like you see that puck punk Justin Biv. cant spell his last name and dont care too. |

Seriously though, I can see where they could come in handy. You can use your rag to wipe snot, sweat, and even your butt, in a pinch.
I stand corrected....I am going to get some of those rags. I see some practical usefulness here. This is a good thread. It's sure beats using your socks in a pinch lol!

| Doc, you really ought to try before you judge. Hubby is the one that got me to wear a neckerchief in the extreme cold. Somehow it keeps the cold from getting under your clothes. I swear it helps! Back when I used to ride in all kinds of weather, a neckerchief was definitely a plus in the extreme cold, especially when the wind is blowing. Then you can pull it up over your nose and face "outlaw style" and keep your face from freezing....also helps warm the air a little before you draw it in to your lungs.
Maybe calling it a neckerchief instead of a wild rag would make it more acceptable? Doesn't LRQHS live down south? No wonder she doesn't see the practicality of a wild rag! And as a cowboy fashion statement.

Up here we call it a scarf or neckerchief. In Scotland, if you wear a skirt, it's called a kilt. Up here it's called a skirt. No biggie. I'm just not into skirts and skarves. "Up here" straight west of you a couple hours they are called rags. I'm going to get you a pink paisley rag to tie around your 17" neck. Over here, we use "rags" to mop up dog poop on the floor. Girls often call a tampon a "rag".
If someone is wearing an ugly garment, it's sometimes called a "rag". A bad newspaper, such as the Minneapolis Tribune is uniformly referred to as a "rag". Even a bad baseball team is referred to as "rag" tag. I don't want any of these things on my neck. I can see men from Texas needing something to keep their pencil necks warm....after all, it does get bitter cold down there, especially if you are a sissy. On the rare occasion a Texan winds up here in the winter, they usually need lots of kleenex to go along with their cute rags because the cold makes them cry.
You DID have to remind me of this, didn't you???!!!! When I was in Texas last summer I rode one horse for about an hour and was asked to ride another. I started to whine and moan and looked for excuses like "it's because of my thyroid."

No. I was being serious about you trying it, not being uptight. You live in really cold country (my sister used to live in Fargo, I've heard all about it). You just might find it another way to conserve body heat while riding in the arctic cold. However, with a 17" neck you might have to go with one of those silk wild rags as they run bigger than the cotton handkerchief/neckerchiefs we make do with. The silk ones just seem to make me colder! 
Now continue with the humor. |

Sweetheart, I can assure you that when it's -50 degrees with the wind chill, no cute little fashionable scarf will help....not when my pis$ freezes when it's still inside my bladder. |

Man, if you are a MUCH bigger man than me! I thought that I was being tough riding when it was zero before windchill!!
These days I have become a fair weather rider.... It's too cold, it's too hot, it's too windy, it's too humid, it's too buggy.....sigh.....

No, TX, try a down comforter! I look like Winter Fritz, if you happen to be a history buff and know about Stalingrad.
Seriously, though, those flimsy little scarves would be cute and nice for about a minute.....until my snot and drool freezes them into a solid sheet that flaps up and down against my lips like a frozen quirt made out of barbed wire. When I peel something like that off my frozen face, half my nose and my upper lip comes off with it. |

I don't like ties either. My face turns red, my veins distends, and my head swells. I can't button my top button, even with a 17" collar. Ties are for bankers and lawyers. They are a decoration, like tinsel on a tree, or sequins on a harlet's skirt. |

Where did you get your suits? The zoo? No wonder your wife likes silk sheets. She sleeps with bigfoot. |

| I'm from the north and as Scott said you don't see much of them in this area but one of my roper friends that had spent some intern time down south swears by them and I really hate stuff around my neck but hate being cold worse. I broke down and bought one and I LOVE it! It keeps the wind from bothering me but it isn't heavy or bulky. I bought my family each one now too. |

Nope
grew up a dairy farmer and hated horses. I didn't start riding until I was in my late 20's

| I will wear a rag 8 or 10 times a year. I only own 2. They are not common here, but nobody has ever commented to me about wearing them. |

Location: In my own little world | Go take a look on Facebook at Twist N Ties. There is a ton of pics of the wild rags they make and you see them on ranchers, cowboys, groom and groomsmen at several weddings,women etc. They are classy, practical, warm, stylish and some just plain wild looking for both men and women. My husband, sons and I all wear them in the winter because they are warm and it gets dang cold when you live where the cold weather tops the charts daily in the winter months and you are known to hold records for continually being the coldest spot in the nation every winter. I was excited to see so many cowboys wearing them at the NFR this year. I'm sure a lot of that had to do with the fact that it was cold in Vegas this year and they helped keep them warm when they were warming up and were stylish as well. I figured I was finally ahead of the times stylewise as we have worn them most of our lives. AndI wish you could buy them for $5.99 as someone stated! Maybe somewhere between $20-$50 for good quality wild rags. For the naysayers give them a try. You just might find out you really like them. And if you have a big neck, don't tie them. Just wrap it around your neck when you put your coat on if you are headed to an office job and they will ward off the cold.
And speaking of colds, when I get a winter cold, I smear Vicks on my neck, wrap a wild rag around my neck and head to bed. Makes you feel nice and toasty. |
