Flexible scarf

A flexible scarf 1 comprises an annular element formed from a fabric material such as silk and formed with an inner and outer layer. An elongate deformable support means 4 in the form of a covered aluminium wire is threaded into a channel 3 formed by two rows of stitching machined near the open edge. Each end of the wire 4 is folded back on itself to form a small loop 5 which may be covered by a heat shrink tube 6. The wire may be discontinuous 7 or continuous (figure 3) by twisting both open ends together. The short edges of the scarf are machined together to form a seam 8. The deformable support means 4 allows the scarf or headband to be arranged into different styles, each retaining its shape and position.
