I was looking for a cotton scarf in blue but I could not find any aside from 21 x 21 neckerchiefs or huge 50" things, so I was delighted to finally find this item at Sheplers. The cotton is rather stiff even after I hand washed it as instructed (it probably doesn't have a very high tread count), and it's slightly smaller than the advertised 27"-square (measures more like 26" x 26"), but it will do. I actually bought 2 as this size cotton scarf seems to have been discontinued at American clothiers.
