Type of neckwear
A neckerchief (from neck (n.) + kerchief), also kerchief, scarf, and bandana, is a type of neckwear associated with those working or living outdoors, including farm laborers, cowboys and sailors. It is most commonly still seen today in the Scouts, Girl Guides and other similar youth movements. A neckerchief consists of a triangular piece of cloth or a rectangular piece folded into a triangle. The long edge is rolled towards the point, leaving a portion unrolled.
