Travel and Airplane Poncho Scarves

Packs flat, weighs almost nothing, and works as both a layer and an airplane blanket. Functions as an elegant outfit when draped to the side. Covers the shoulders for those cathedrals abroad. A good travel piece for boring, practical reasons.

  • Impossible to get the size wrong

    One size, and it drapes from the shoulders instead of fitting the body. Nothing to measure, and nothing awkward to ask before you buy one for someone else.

  • One piece, five different looks

    Move the seam and the same scarf reads as a soft cowl, an asymmetric drape or a clean poncho. Loop it at the neck or leave it open on the shoulders and it is a scarf and a shawl too. A printed sheet showing all five comes with every order.

  • It doubles as the blanket

    Wear it as a layer, or take it off and spread it over you. Warmer and considerably cleaner than the one handed out at the front of the plane.

Packing notes

Why it earns the space in a carry-on

It costs you nothing in a bag

It packs flat and weighs almost nothing. Because it is woven rather than knitted, it does not come out holding the creases of everything it was folded against.

It goes on in a cramped seat

Over your head, without standing up or fastening anything. That also makes it the easiest layer to add and remove through a long flight.

It washes in a hotel sink

A soft woven blend. Cold water by hand or a delicate cycle, laid flat overnight and ready in the morning.

The versatile ones, in colorways that go with whatever else made it into the suitcase. The louder patterns are in the full range.

One piece, three days of looks

Moving the seam is what does it. Worth two minutes before you pack, because it changes how much you need to bring.
