How to Tie a Cowboy Neckerchief

Neckerchiefs hold a special place in the popular imagination. Neckerchiefs drum up thoughts of scouts, sailors, and especially, cowboys. These triangular cloths say so much about the person wearing the scarves, yet neckerchiefs are relatively simple to prepare and tie, with just a single piece of fabric, folded and sometimes set in place with a slide. Tying a cowboy neckerchief is a quick and easy task.
