Men's Mix Pashmina Shawl — Brown

A men's mix pashmina shawl in brown, handwoven in Salampur, Swat, in the larger men's size.

Made for how men wear a shawl

A man's shawl is worn differently: thrown over one shoulder, wrapped against the cold on a motorbike, folded over the arm at a wedding. So ours is cut larger, roughly 45 by 90 inches, with a plain field and a simple selvedge, and woven from a wool that holds its shape through a season of daily use. Read our guide to sizes, colours and how to wear one.

What "mix" means

The mix pashmina is woven from a blended wool yarn rather than the softer single yarn of our pure Swati pashmina. That makes it a little sturdier and a little more affordable: the right choice for a shawl that will be used hard. "Swati pashmina" itself is the Salampur weavers' name for their softest everyday wool weave; it is a wool shawl, not the goat-fibre pashmina of Kashmir, and it is priced as one.

The colour

A solid, natural brown that hides wear, goes with every colour of kameez, and looks right in the village and in the city.
