White silk aviator scarves are making a big comeback. They add flair and a sense of daring do to any man's
(and woman's) wardrobe.
Maybe he pictures himself as a World War I ace screaming across the smoke-filled skies above war-torn France and Belgium. Fighting it out in a bi-plane dueling with Germany's infamous Red Baron or looking out of the cockpit of a bi-plane as he crop dusts America's mid-west farms... or barnstorming his way across the country in the early 1920s...
his white silk aviator scarf flowing in the wind.
At over five feet long, they make the perfect gift for birthdays, Christmas, Father's day, anniversary...and don't forget
the groomsmen!
>>>Just to let you know my scarf arrived yesterday and I wore it, out on my motorcycle, last night.
I am very pleased with it and I now remember why silk scarves were so popular way back when I was young!

The Aviator Scarf & Motorcycle Scarf: More Popular than Ever!
Looking back in aviation and motorcycle history, there was a time when planes used to have open air cockpit and motorcycles used to be larger in size. Because of this characteristic, pilots and motorcyclists had to be dressed accordingly to prevent chafing from wearing the leather jacket.
This is because thousands of feet above the ground, the air is extremely cold and when you add the wind factor, it can sometimes be unbearable. Thus, pilots wore aviation caps, goggles, gloves and jackets, and of course, so did motorcycle riders. Of course, one very important accessory as well was the aviator and motorcycle scarves.
Just like all the other garments that a pilot used to wear, this scarf also had its own particular role in keeping the cold away. You see, when a pilot flies without a scarf, the wind, being blown at the pilot, tends to slide through the opening of the jacket. In an effort to fix this, pilots wore scarves to keep the wind away from entering the holes of their jacket. Aside from that, these accessories were made in a specific design. More often than not silk was the fabric of choice because of its smooth and lightweight properties. Other fabrics were rough so they would irritate the neck area of the pilots. When it came to silk, it was the perfect balance of comfort and protection from the harsh winds in the sky with these pilot supplies.
As for the dimensions of an aviator and chopper scarves, these were generally a foot in width and up to six feet long. The reason for this is because pilots and bikers would need to wrap it around their neck several times to keep them from freezing. Also, when this accessory was first introduced in the military, it was only produced in a white color. However, as it became more commercialized, pilots chose bolder options such as velvet red or navy blue.
After the change in color, Hollywood took the scarf and used it as the trademark image of pilots in their movies. Of course they added extra touches to it such as ruffles or frayed ends. They also introduced several different ways of knotting the scarf that would otherwise be impractical to use while flying. As you can see, there was a significant importance to the aviator scarf back in the day. It was practical and useful although in this day and age, it has become more of a style accessory. Since open cockpit airplanes are rarely used, people have begun using these accessories to accentuate their outfits. Either way, it is a beautiful and historically rich accessory that any fashion savvy person should have.
