Etsy shop 'WearAScough' sells "Scoughs," which are discreet and fashionable scarf designs and much better alternatives to wearing a full on surgeon's mask when you want to avoid getting sick in public.
The Scoughs are offered in a number of different designs that would appeal to both men and women, ranging from whimsical ones with moustaches and lips to basic colors and patterns that look just like an average scarf.
However, what is different about the Scough is that it has an inner pocket where a surgical mask can be inserted and covertly worn. Scough scarves come with one activated carbon filter mask, which uses the same technology as the military does when it is protecting soldiers against chemical warfare. With a Scough, you'll be seriously prepared for any sneeze-riddled subway.
