Gently Strikes Wild Rag: Ginew + Addie Roanhorse Collaboration
+ Sitting Bull Wild Rag: Ginew + Steven Paul Judd
The generous size is perfect for displaying these unique designs. All-cotton construction provides styling flexibility. Historically, wild rags were worn by cowboys and cowgirls for protection from the elements, used to strain water, or even as a bandage. Today, you can be as creative as your personality - we've seen these tied in a square not, Windsor, buckaroo knots, used in interior design and more!
