45” x 45” Square Linen Scarf
A simple square of linen—yet one of the most essential and versatile pieces in an 18th-century wardrobe.
This 45” x 45” linen fichu (also known as a neckerchief, modesty cloth, or scarf) is made from soft, breathable white linen and finished with a clean, narrow hem. Worn folded into a triangle, it can be draped across the shoulders, tucked into a gown, or tied at the neck for both modesty and sun protection—just as it was in the 1700s.
From market days to camp life, this humble square of linen serves countless purposes: a fichu for ladies’ dress, a neck cloth for warmth, a kerchief for hair covering, or even a practical cloth for daily use. Truly, no kit is complete without one.
Lightweight and easy to wear, it layers beautifully with shifts, gowns, jackets, and petticoats—adding both historical accuracy and timeless charm.
