I purchased two of these in different colors. They are both a fine product and as described. As far as a keffiyeh, scarf or shemagh, I would consider these a 'heavyweight' version. Kind of like a fall/winter scarf. It seems to be 100% cotton or close to it, with a heavy woven pattern. These are from the land of Ghandi-ji and are well-made. The comparison would be to the land of Mao, where things may not be of the same quality. Upon receipt, I hand washed both in cold water with a color-safe cold-water detergent, and pinned them up outside to dry. Which they did very quickly, according to the weave, design and purpose. The colors, although they bled a little in the sink, stayed clear and separate once dried.Mine measured 114x114cm, (45 inches) which is a little larger than the normal scarf of 1Mx1M. The size is well suited for this kind of scarf and I appreciate the slightly extra size.Bottom line? No color bleeding when properly cared for, no odor aside from my detergent/wash smell (nice), good size, woven cotton. I will buy more.
