After buying many silk wild rags, there was one thing that was becoming all too common. The unprinted and unfinished silk backside! This is unacceptable!

Whether you're new to Western style or you've been riding in wild rags your whole life, knowing how to tie and wear scarves well is a great skill.


When I started Cowtown Wild Rags, I wanted to create wild rags for men and women. I had noticed through the years that men often had a much smaller selection when it came to wearing wild rags...and the ones that were offered were either solid or floral.

So, I went to work designing wild rags for men.

Not all silk Western scarves are created equal. Silk is the material that made wild rags what they are, and no other fabric matches it for this purpose. Here's why silk outperforms everything else.

Patriotic wild rags are one of those Western accessories that never really go out of style. They're perfect year-round, and this year especially, as we celebrate America's 250th, it feels like the perfect time to celebrate the red, white, and blue.

What is a wild rag? Sometimes, people who aren't familiar with the Western world or Western fashion will ask, "Why would you call a silk scarf a rag?" This is a great question! 

They are correct - it's not a "rag" as in when we think of a rag, we think of a cleaning rag. No, a wild rag is not that type of rag. "Rag" is the beloved, affectionate name for a silk scarf.
