Cowtown Wild Rags: How to Tie a Better Cowboy Scarf

Looking to tie a better cowboy scarf? When it comes to cowboy tradition, few things are as iconic as a wild rag. It’s not just a scarf… it’s part of the tradition. Whether you’re riding fence lines, working cattle, or going to the rodeo… a wild rag says you honor the Western heritage. AtCowtown Wild Rags, we take that tradition seriously… and we’ve raised the bar.



Not all wild rags are created equal. A lot of what’s out there? Thin… dull… one-sided prints that fade or get lost in the crowd. You spend good money, and the backside looks like it was forgotten at the factory. That’s not how we do things at Cowtown Wild Rags.

A Cowboy Scarf

Our wild rags are crafted from premium 14mm silk… full-color… double-sided… with hand-rolled edges that show off real craftsmanship. Every silk scarf pops with rich Western patterns and bold colors that hold up, whether you’re riding the range or walking into town. We didn’t cut corners… and we won't cut corners.

Why Cowboys Wear Wild Rags

Wild rags started as a working cowboy’s tool. They weren’t just for looks… they served a purpose. Cowboys wore silk scarves to block dust, cut the wind, stay warm in the cold, and soak up sweat in the heat. A good wild rag can cover your face on a windy day, double as a sling or bandage, and even filter water in a pinch.

These days, they still carry that same grit… but they’ve also become a statement. Ranchers, riders, and folks with a love for Western fashion all know… a wild rag shows off your style and your roots.
