The symbolism of the fringed shemagh
The fringed shemagh has a special symbolism for Jordanians, as it expresses their history and national identity, in addition to its association with the Jordanian army.
This connection dates back to 1956, when the shemagh was imposed on members of the Jordanian army, and then it developed into “fringing” after the mothers of some soldiers in the desert took the initiative to add fringing to the shemagh (with a fringing stitch called the hem of the desert).
