A Simple New Asbell Product
« on: June 21, 2012, 08:57:00 AM »


Teresa has come out with a pretty neat accessory.....a simple wool bandana. I think the dimension is 27x27" (I might get corrected on that).

I love these. When I was in the Army, we used an Army bandage pack as a scarf.....we called it a "Cav Scarf". Those were cotton....this one is wool. I see much more use from a wool version. A "do-rag" now becomes a warm hat. We have all worn a wool scarf...this one doubles as a face mask. I experimented a little with draping it over my bow hand instead of a glove. I plan on spending some time with this simple product and coming up with a list of uses. If you guys have any thoughts, have at it.   :bigsmyl:  

I don't think this is on the Asbell website yet, but I know she has plenty on hand.

Will they be available in a pattern......like the new cedar swamp? I'd like that....or any muted plaid?

They do come in multiple patterns. Mrs. Owlbait worked with Teresa and Fred at Compton's and was able to verify that.

Bugs me to death.  I bought a new zippered wool "hoodie" from Teresa at Compton, and came back 3 times to look at those simple green scarves... and managed to forget to buy one! (Doh!    :banghead:   )  Must have been mesmerized by the chance to talk with Roger!?! (Or, maybe it was the 90 degree temps)

Wonder about myself, sometimes.  Now, I'd hate to pay shipping to get that all by itself.  Too soon old, too late smart...

Hrm.

Not sure I would want something that loose around my neck/chin.  I can guarantee that sooner or leter I would wrap it up in a bowstring and try to strangle myself.

I have a neck cuff that my mother knitted for me out of wool.  That's a lot snugger fit, though.

Ain't for everybody, thats for sure, but I havn't gone wrong on anything I've gotten from Teresa yet. You go girl. Keep up the good work. Your wool is both affordable and usable.  :thumbsup:

Hey guys...they will be at Denton Hill, and yep, they have multiple patterns.

I agree, order it with something else or pick one up at a show....freight being what it is.

Jeff - In the past I wore a Blaclava(sp?)and it has never bothered me shooting a bow. my Asbell Cav Scarf (my name, not the official handle  :)  ) is much snugger than that. It doesn't get in MY way, but that is not to say your wrong. It might bother some folks used as a scarf up front.Lots of other uses for it though. I think it's a compact, worthy, and simple thing to throw into ones haversack.

I did not buy at first sight because I thought it would interfere with anchor point, for me.  But, I think I would use it for something other than the actual hunt.

After the fact, I thought of those windy winter days when I have removed my ASAT mesh face mask and am walking back to the truck with painful cold on my cheeks.  This would be something I'd love to have in my pocket for those times...
