I once met a girl who used a soft leather obi belt as a “scarf” purely for decorative purposes of course, and interestingly, it looked really good on her; very spot-on and perfect for the outfit she was wearing.

That’s why when I saw this scarf from Brooklyn Bandit, I simply had to tell you all about it. The Cesar Scarf comes in both Red and Black, both in genuine leather, and both lined with nylon on the inside for warmth (and I’m guessing for comfort as well, since wrapping your neck with leather, no matter how soft it is, can feel uncomfortable at a certain point):

I’m not exactly sure why Karmaloop (where this scarf is available) used a male to model the scarf, because this piece would definitely look better if styled on a female. And then of course, I also can’t help but be curious – will it really keep you warm if you wear it? Will it be comfortable to wear? Or is it purely designed for fashion’s sake or for the art of looking good? Because at the end of the day, the idea of wrapping your neck with leather doesn’t exactly sound “conventional”.

However, whatever your answer may be, we can’t really deny the fact that it is also an interesting piece to have, form or function aside. Plus, it’s not exactly a super expensive item that only a few can afford since it retails at a rather attainable USD60 to USD65 a pop.

So what do you think? Would you grab the Cesar Scarf and add it to your collection of scarves and wraps? To purchase, simply visit Karmaloop. Enjoy styling your leather scarf.
