I'm grateful to Hirbawi Co. They offer both traditional and fashion based colored scarfs. This is my 5+ order and I've always been pleased. I've had some for several years and they have held up. They are great to keep warm as sun protection, I use them even in the rain as they do pretty well and dry fast. I've used them as a scarf or head covering. Great when it's windy they can cover your face, head, neck and keep you protected. if you are sensitive to wind Hirbawi is a great choice as it's true to size. They hold up well, I wash and line dry, but have used a laundry/lingerie bag to wash on occasion. The dry very quickly. The pictures are very close representations. Some styles have a thicker weave. The "Um Suleiman" I purchased and shown here has a nice traditional stitching. I'm very happy with this purchase and they ship quickly. I also like supporting a original/local company in the Middle East knowing I'm helping to keep a traditional business going.

I have several shemagh and this scarf is easily the best one I have found. Thickness and softness are crucial in a good shemagh and this one is twice the quality of any other I have found. The size alone is grander and more easily wrapped and positioned on the head or neck. The overall quality of the material is outstanding, due to the higher thread count I'm assuming, and the warmth and comfort is unmatched. My other shemagh that I have loved for years, now seem scratchy and cheap. I don't know the manufacturer, I don't work for the company, and I am completely impartial in my review. I only wish I had found this Shemagh before I had bought my others, which will soon be replaced by this brand. More expensive? Yes, by about twice the amount of some of the others that are offered, but worth every single penny! I plan on enjoying this product for years to come... Highly Recommend!

If you are thinking of purchasing a kufiya, seriously consider the best made. Upon receipt of this I washed in cold water, mild detergent, and hung up to dry. The quality is outstanding!. Cloth is quality, color, stitching, cut is perfect. No cutting corners on this product. Save yourself a big headache. Spend a few dollars more and get quality that will not bleed color over your other clothing or fall apart after several uses. BTW, I researched Mr. Hirbawi and his efforts to keep this business going in the midst of a sea of shoddy substitutes. I commend his efforts and that of his business to succeed. Update 3/15/17 - I have used my olive green/black everyday since I did the initial cold wash. I have gotten so much variety of use that the standard rectangular scarf I have had for years is now in the back of the closet. Great for walking the dog when the cold and wind are so penetrating. This is my first Keffiyeh from Hirbawi. I now have a second Keffiyeh in solid black. Black one is very fine cloth and is delicate in weave, design and appearance. Plan to order a third black and tan color for storage in my Jeep as I keep continuing to find more and more utility of the unique blend & material.

Disclosure: I have no association with the seller nor did I receive any price breaks to entice purchasing the product. Note that I am an Amazon Prime member (preferential shipping) 1) This Shemagh was expensive (+$25) compared to others I have purchased (~$11). 2) Excellent material: I would estimate the weave was roughly 20 threads/in compared to 10 threads/in of the cheaper one. I do not have enough experience with Shemagh's to know whether the heavier, sturdier material is desired for hot weather (for cold weather, without thinking I would select the Hirbawi product), but the Hirbawi is certainly more robust than the cheaper one. I consider the cheaper one more of a disposable product and the Hirbawi more robust for long term use. 3) Nearly odor free, but just a hint. The cheaper one had a very strong odor that I attribute to the dye. 4) I hand washed the cheaper one in cold water (no soap). Round 1, the water was pitch black. Round 2, the water was dark black. Round 3, the water was still black, maybe dark gray. I stopped rinsing. With the Hirbawi scarf, there was only a very faint *hint* of blue so I only rinsed once. 5) The Hirbawi scarf is a legitimate 44"x44", and with very slight tugging, it is more like 46"x46" or larger (unlike the cheaper one which claimed to be 42"x42" but I would say it is more like 40"x40". The extra 4" is a significant difference when it comes to using it for protection from the sun (shawl to protect back of the neck and brim to keep sun out of eyes). 6) Finally, I ordered on Wednesday and received it on Friday (I love Amazon Prime) While the Hirbawi carries a price premium (you can purchase 2 of the cheaper ones and walk away with some change), the quality level is unmistakably higher. In the end, I recommend both the product and the company (and Amazon Prime shipping).

I bought these because we wanted something to help keep our face warm in the winter. I had to go online to find out how to properly tie it like it should be tied, in the Shemagh formation. I like the weight of this Shemagh and am looking forward to being able to use it. There were a few loose threads on it, but the directions on the paper that came with it, says to remove them. I didn't cut any off, as if they are truly loose, they will work their way out but if they are just not tightly woven threads, they could make a hole if cut. So I left them all intact. I like it, the weight, the material and the feel of it are very nice. I love the bright Red of the Red/White one that we ordered.

100% cotton. Soft. Handmade. Supports artisans in their field who are fighting against forgeries(seriously, go on Etsy and see how many are labeled "Hirbawi" when they aren't, even other sellers on Amazon.) This is legit, matches the styles and colors of the official Hirbawi site, stock generally matches Amazon here as well. I own several shemagh's and THIS one is the best. Others may have richer colors but that's because they're in artificial fibers. If you want functional and soft, then you want a Hirbawi. Black and Gray: Image seems true to product. Mar Elias: The Yellow is actually quite a rich yellow, but the wave color is actually BLUE! Like, really really blue. It's this beautiful almost baby blue. Unexpected from what I saw in the image, but it was a happy surprise. There are tassles on 2 corners. Alquds: Fairly accurate to image though instead of the yellow/brownish sort of color that it appears to me, the actual product's wave color is closer to a gold. Unexpected again but it meant it exceeded expectations.

I had purchased a reasonable amount of shemaghs in the past, and I was never impressed with the way it felt on my skin and face, or the build quality and the way they wore. I stumbled across this product interested in giving shemaghs another try, hoping that an authentic piece would work better for me than the cheap impulse buys from China like the ones I purchased previously. Hirbawi's consistent 5-star reviews weren't lying though, because when this thing showed up in the mail quite quickly for a Palestinian import, It screamed quality from right out of the package. The fact that the cloth shifts color from olive drab to a yellowish hue depending on lighting like the product description said it would is one of the first notable signs of expert craftsmanship, and though this product was much more expensive than it's cheaper counterparts, it was well worth every cent I payed. I could have payed an extra $10 more to be honest. The only thing that I have to complain about with this product is the fact that my shemagh came with a few pieces of string, but not frayed fabric, stuck to the shemagh when it showed-up, but this was nothing to fuss about, as it has nothing to do with weave quality or anything like that, but I just thought it worth mentioning as a side note. In the end anyways, nothing is perfect, and this shemagh is as close as you'll ever be. This shemagh is undoubtably going to serve me for many years to come from the Summer sun's harsh rays and Winter's unrelenting winds, and I would like to thank the wonderful people from the Hirbawi factory in Hebron once again for this amazing product. Warmest wishes to the Palestinian people, and best of luck in your current struggle.

The quality is very good, fabric is too good.

Nicest of all the shemagh's I own after two decades of buying

I have several Kufeyah/Shemagh/Keffeyeh/hatta. Some I have had for a while, but lately, in the depths of the whole COVID-19 thing, I have been adding to my collection with some from Amazon, and reviews of those are elsewhere (Free Soldier Shemagh - Black and White set amongst others) Although facemasks make little difference - akin to using a sock as a condom. I deal with the public as a keyworker (Roadside Breakdown and Recovery) so occasionally have to use a face covering to soothe any fears that people I interact with may have. A Kufeyah is a good option (As are bandanas but not as warm) The ones I already have are made in China/India, and are actually pretty good FOR THE MONEY. Obviously price plays into any consideration, and for what I paid, I consider them good quality, worthy of their positive rating, and are still in rotation, along with 2 that I have had for over ten years (which are getting a bit tatty, but still fulfill their function and actually still look good.) Although a Kufeyah is a mostly functional item, which has evolved over many years to protect the wearer from harsh conditions in that part of the world. They have become a clothing staple, and synonymous with middle eastern fashion, and adopted by the rest of the world as a stylish and infinitely practical accessory. Including the military/tactical set. But ultimately the practicality is foremost. The Damask weaving technique is used because it increases the air trapping, comfort and sand filtering qualities while limiting the weight, which means you will always have the occasional thread pull, the odd bit of unraveling and a few imperfections. This will age the garment over the years, developing a character of its own. However, the ones I have had for a decade are still going, and these should last even longer. If you seek a pristine visual appearance, you would be better off with a Gucci shawl or a standard scarf I have included some images to show the differences between this genuine Hirbawi, and one of my others that I consider good quality. You’ll notice that the size difference. The Hirbawi is approx 60 mm or 2.5 inches larger all round, and measures the stated 47 inches. This allows for greater flexibility in wearing options. As you’ll see, the thread count is a little finer, and the embroidery is of a slightly better standard. Importantly, the tasseled edges are finished in a completely different fashion. Instead of gathering up a certain number of the loose threads from the weave, and knotting them at regular intervals. The Hirbawi has folded and overlocked edges, which then have a pre embroidered edging strip, with integrated tassels sewn on. This makes the edges almost indestructable and leads me to believe that this will have a very long life (the edges are where my old ones are failing) What the images dont show is just how soft the Hirbawi is, and how comfortable it is to wear and how nicely it drapes. As this is the genuine article, developed and manufactured for locals to fulfill a function, comfort would be high on the list of priorities, and the choice of cotton, and method of manufacture are all important. You just don’t get the same attention to detail and product knowledge on a copy made to look a certain way. Wash separately by hand till there is no further dye run off. I usually wash my shemaghs on a standard 40 degree wash having placed them in a mesh bag (the 25p produce bags you can find in the veg dept at Aldi are perfect) My other Shemaghs have survived this just fine. Initial new smell is similar to a new tent reminding me of past camping outings and certainly not offensive. These are, without doubt, superior items. The size, the look, the feel, the comfort and the colours are all better. This is reflected in the price, which is a bit steep. But the price will soon be forgotten, and considering the added benefits I’ve talked about is worth the extra IMO. Political considerations aside. I am glad that I purchased this Kufeyah. My decision was guided mainly by the fact that the manufacturer is an independant family concern. Human beings that actually make a product, superior to anything else I’ve managed to find with generations of experience to boot, so it’s a win-win. I’m already deciding which one I’ll be getting next. I’ll update this review over time. But I already think I’m going to be happy with them all...
