100% alpaca men's scarf, "Arequipa Adventure"
Weaving a brown palette of colors on the traditional loom, Peru's Wilmer Vilchez creates a handsome scarf for men. Vilchez selects baby alpaca wool, so-called for being the season's first shear. It has been prized since the time of the Inca Empire for its incredible warmth yet lightweight feel when wrapped around the neck.

"Very nice mens scarf"
I had been to Arequipa back in 1989, but this is the first time I am luck to have purchased such a finely crafted product from that region of Peru.
