Bandanas 1,800 years ago... As long ago as the 2nd century, Chinese were drawing maps on fabric to show trade routes. Then in Europe, silk scarves decorated with maps of spa towns were popular during the 18th and 19th centuries. It was with the outbreak of World War II, however, that the idea of printing maps on fabric really came into its own. Because they were easy to carry, weather resistant and still provided excellent details, they were given to pilots and men parachuted in enemy territory. More recently, they were issued to airmen during the Gulf War, indicating that despite advances in the technology of war, silk maps still have an important part to play. People who buy bandanas also buy Trail Guides.
