Would you mind providing all of us a picture of it being worn.  I still don't believe it actually exists.

It is neither warm nor comfortable.  And being nylon, it would melt to your throat in a fire (so much for Nomex)
That is precisely why Air Force air crews are required to remove their scarves before flight.

I always thought scarves with flight suits were a haze.  They bunch, or slide, or creep.  I was always told they were for unit identification (plus tradition), but I think unit-colored cloth name tags serve the same purpose without being annoying.

I can't find the pic I thought I had, but trust me, they exist.

Its likely that this unpopular device goes largely unphotographed.

Yeah, consider the blackmail opportunities it would probably give the owner of the camera. >:D

Nah, think more of the emotional and psychological trauma caused by seeing the scarf.

I don't know what's worse, Wearing the scarf or having people know you paid $35 for it.

Something about wearing a yellow scarf with a flight suit just doesn't feel right...

I have one, looks decent with the blue utility/nomex flight suits. 

Really kinda comfortable, the couple tiems I wore it.  Mostly forget its in the closet.  Usually only wear it to tweek the CAP-USAF guys or other pilots....

Ah.......used one of these in the back of a cessna to blow my nose.  That is all they are good for.  I have never seen (NEVER SEEN) anyone wear one of these.

When you think about it, that may be why the cloth nametags are used now. You need a nametag anyway, why not make it unit distinctive? Don't have to spend any money on a scarf that you don't actually need. The newer style ones didn't serve the same purpose as the old ones did, they just weren't up to the task.

And the cloth nametag made you distinctive all the time.  The scarf only worked during non-flying periods when you happened to wear it.
