Product Type: Scarves & Wraps

This brown cashmere scarf is a deep espresso, close to dark chocolate, and generous enough to unfold as a wrap at 79 by 26 inches, about 200 by 66 cm. The label from Pokhara Nepal Artisans reads 100% cashmere, and the makers call it handloomed, so a slight variation in tone and texture from scarf to scarf is part of its character. Up close the cloth shows a fine diagonal twill, and both short ends finish in a soft, frayed fringe.

  • Espresso brown. A warm dark brown that flatters near the face where gray can look cool.
  • Wrap sized. Wide enough to open across both shoulders over a dress or a sweater.
  • Fine twill. The diagonal weave drapes softly and shrugs off creases from a coat collar.
  • Short fringe. Frayed ends that stay soft and low key rather than swinging.

Brown Cashmere Scarf Colors That Work

A brown cashmere scarf is warmer company than gray, and espresso is the most useful brown of all because it is deep enough to act as a neutral. Pair it with camel for a tone on tone look, with navy for a classic contrast, or with cream for the softest winter outfit there is. It also sits well with black, olive and denim, and it brings out brown and hazel eyes.

Folding a Wide Cashmere Scarf

At 26 inches wide, this scarf changes with every fold. Folded lengthwise into thirds it narrows to about 8.7 inches, a neat band that tucks under a coat collar. Folded in half lengthwise it is about 13 inches wide, chunky and cozy for a single loop. Folded end to end, the 79 inch length makes a loop of about 39.5 inches, long enough to pull the ends through for a knot that stays put without a pin. Opened fully, it becomes a wrap for a cool evening or a light blanket on a long flight.

Washing Dark Cashmere

Pokhara Nepal Artisans suggest a dry cleaner, or cold water and your hands, followed by drying flat. With a deep color, wash it alone the first time and use cool water so the dye stays rich. Never hang a wet cashmere scarf, because the water weight stretches the length out of shape; spread it flat over a towel and smooth the fringe straight. Between wears, a soft clothes brush lifts lint off the dark surface.

Espresso Cashmere Wrap in Wear

Does this brown scarf suit men? It does. The makers present it as unisex, and espresso looks sharp with a navy or charcoal overcoat.

Will dark brown dye mark a light coat? Before wearing it over a cream or white coat, rub a damp white cloth on a hidden corner. If no color lifts, the dye is set and the scarf is safe on pale fabric.

Does it double as a travel blanket? Yes. At 79 by 26 inches it covers a lap and shoulders on a plane or train, then folds back into a scarf for the walk out of the station.
