Product Description
Mens Winter Fashion Neck Scarf Silk. These handmade silk muffler are created by the hereditary weavers of Benaras. The tools used are very basic in nature- wooden blocks for marking designs on silk. A muffler (also called a scarf) is a piece of textile, often long and narrow, usually worn on or near the head, for warmth, fashion, cleanliness, or religious purposes. In cold climates, a thick knitted muffler (made up of wool) is tied around the neck to keep warm. This is usually accompanied by a warm hat and heavy coat. The craft of knitting garments such as mufflers is an important trade in some countries. In drier, dustier climates, or in environments where there is a lot of airborne contaminants, a thin scarf is often worn over the head to keep the hair clean. With cultural exposure from Europe, these scarves found their way to the western wardrobes too.
