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. Relax....I was just having fun! Sheesh! 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.  
Rooops! lol, I guess we can put a scarf around that too lol.... |

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.
 
Bet you wish you were here in Texas about now. What is it, -50 there? |

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. |
