    WW2 Parachute Silk Scarf

    For the OP: Is the scarf a rectangle or a tapered four-sided shape with angled ends? I have some sections of silk unpicked from a ww2 parachute (one of which is now a scarf like yours!) and they have a distinctive shape. The broad arrow stamp and multiple parallel rows of stitching holes on...
