SERAPE

Serape

The serape or sarape is a long blanket-like shawl, often brightly colored and fringed at the ends, worn in Mexico, especially by men. "Serape" also can be used to refer to a very soft rectangular blanket with an opening in the middle for one's head, similar to a poncho called gabán in México. Some serapes are made with matching hoods for head covering. The length varies but front and back normally reach knee height on an average person.
