🧵 Cotton vs Polyester vs Viscose Shemaghs — Which One Suits You Best?

Not all shemaghs are the same. From cotton to polyester to viscose, each fabric offers a distinct balance of comfort, durability, and style. At ALFAJR KEFFIYEH CO., every weave blends heritage with modern craftsmanship so you can choose a shemagh that truly reflects your lifestyle.

🌿 1) Cotton Shemaghs — Classic, Breathable, Authentic

A favorite for traditionalists, cotton is naturally breathable, soft on the skin, and comfortable for long wear in both warm and cool climates.

• Pros: Natural, hypoallergenic, excellent breathability & sweat absorption
• Best for: Cultural wear, everyday use, authenticity & softness

✨ 2) Polyester Shemaghs — Durable & Low Maintenance

Polyester shines for practicality: it’s strong, wrinkle-resistant, quick-drying, and keeps its shape and color — great for travel or frequent wear.

• Pros: Very durable, quick-dry, holds color/shape, easy care
• Best for: Travel, tactical/outdoor use, solidarity events, low-maintenance wardrobes
