Best way to wash your Hirbawi kufiya
So it has been a couple of days, and you are still pretty excited about owning a legendary piece of accessory that we brought you halfway across the world. Hirbawi keffiyehs are perfect, but we, people, not so much. Especially when it comes to putting food and liquids in our mouth, but they end up on the kufiya instead. Whenever that happens to me, I blame black magic and the evil eye. Regardless of the responsible party, now we need to deal with consequences (hey, when was life fair, right?).
Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to be as nice as you possibly can to your beloved Hirbawi kufiya.
- Fill up the sink or a washbasin with cold water.
- Add some detergent and swirl it around to dissolve it in the water.
- Soak your shemagh. You may leave it to soak for a while and come back to it later.
- Move the kufiya around, might do some light rubbing if you have some dirty spots.
- Make sure the area around you is wet, because you are not playing around
- Drain the soapy water from the container and rinse the kufiya a few times with clean water.
- Squeeze the water out of your kufiya but don't apply too much force, especially if you are twisting it
- Fold it in half once or twice and lay it down on a towel.
- Grab one side of the towel and start rolling it up, so all the remaining water gets squeezed out and into the towel.
- At this point, your favorite Hirbawi kufiya might be just damp.
- Now that you've taken the weight of the water out of the kufiya, spread it on a drying rack, ideally horizontally. If all you have is a drying line, you could fold it once or twice and hang it along the middle section to distribute the weight of the keffiyeh equally.
- Take the rest of the day off; that was enough for one day.

12 Years in the Field
I have had this one for 12 years now, It was a gift from some very special people. It has traveled around the US and been to more protest and actions that I can count. This thing has been put through the ultimate test for sure. It might not prevent tear gas irritation, but this one has a much thicker weave and it provides enough relief and breathing cover to get you out of danger before its a problem. Ive got a nice burn hole from a flash bang but it never spread and ran past the initial hole. This thing has served me well and is ready to retire, waiting on that next drop for sure. I have snagged it on so much, been beaten up you name it so its got some loose threads and rough spots. I was wondering if there was a way to get it repaired before I hang it up some where adn would love to have it restored to its full glory, is there such a service that you offer?

Worth the wait!!
I have been trying for over a year to be able to purchase a Hirbawi Kufiya. I never seemed to see the email when they had them available. Finally, I have my scarf and I love it! Well, made attention to detail and best of all made in Hebron in the West Bank of Palestine. This is my small part in trying to support the people of Palestine. Thank you Hirbawi!

Beautifully made
I waited months to order one and will be ordering another one as this one is all white and I’m a little scared to stain it. It is beautiful and the details are so hice. I like that iris light weight. Regardless of how long it took me to be able to order with was understandable once I placed the order it shipped fairly quickly.

FALASTEEN FOREVER ❤️
Loved this kufiya while I had it. Wore it during Global March to Gaza, and was dragged out of the sit in when they grabbed my kufiya and dragged me to the parking lot. I gave it to a friend in London on my trip home.
Passing on the love and the struggle.
