Will the scarf or such clothing break after my body weight puts stress on it? I am asking this because I have seen multiple cases where the ligature is broken after attempting hanging
It depends on the material. Silk is surprisingly strong and is easy to tie although it will need multiple knots to be sure it holds. Nylon or lycra may not break but it will stretch, a lot. Wool or flannel will probably hold but likely won't provide adequate compression, leading to prolonged suffering. At the end of the day the only way to be sure is to test it beforehand. Pull it with your full weight with bo both hands. And make sure it will hold a knot. If you are going to use anything other than a well secured rope, you should ease into it rather than dropping to minimise the risk of breakage.
