36" or 42"? Does Wild Rag Size REALLY Matter?

It's one of the questions we get asked...Which size wild rag should I buy?

Should you choose the 36-inch or go BIG with the 42-inch?

Well, here's the thing...

BOTH are great sizes! But those extra 6 inches can make a BIG difference depending on how you like to wear your silk scarf.

And if you've ever wondered which one is right for you, let me help!

The 36" Wild Rag: A Great Everyday Choice!

Our 36-inch silk wild rags are wonderfully versatile and offer plenty of fabric for many of your favorite Western knots and ties.

I suggest that most people start with the 36" scarf. If you're giving a gift, unless you know that they prefer a 42", I'd choose a 36" for your gift recipient.

36" are a great choice if you:

• Prefer a little less fabric around your neck.

• Love classic cowboy and cowgirl knots.

• Want a silk scarf that's easy to style for everyday wear.

• Prefer a slightly smaller finished look.

Don't let the word "smaller" fool you. Our 36-inch wild rags are still a generous size! A traditional cotton bandana is 21"

The 42" Wild Rag: Go BIG!

If you love having more silk to work with, our 42-inch wild rags might be just what you're looking for!

Those extra inches give you more fabric for larger knots, fuller looks, and creative ways to wear your silk scarf.

They're especially nice if you:

• Love big, beautiful Western knots and bows.
  

• Want to drape your silk scarf hanging in front or to the side.
  
  

• Want more fabric to work with when tying your wild rag.

• Prefer a fuller look around your neck.

• Enjoy experimenting with different scarf styles.

And here's something you might not realize...

A 42-inch wild rag doesn't just give you 6 more inches of fabric. Because it's larger in BOTH directions, you're getting approximately36% more silk than a 36-inch wild rag!

That's a noticeable difference!

So, Which One Should You Choose?

My suggestion? Think about how you want to WEAR it!

If you love a classic, sharp Western look without a lot of extra fabric, the 36-inch is a fantastic choice.

But if you love dramatic knots, fuller styles, or simply having more silk to work with, the 42-inch might be your favorite!

And remember, both sizes are available in our beautiful100% silk Cowtown Wild Rags, including our printed, luxury solid, and Silk & Saddle jacquard collections.

No matter which size you choose, we'll show you how to tie it yourself. No assistant needed!

We're not your average silk scarf.

Get your wild on!
