Eyyy we must have gotten in on the same batch. Mine came on Friday (same color too)

I had a hard time deciding between the red and the black, but they had just sold out of the black ones when I finally got my entrance ticket, so that made the decision easier 😂. I'll just have to wait in line again to get the black one.

I secretly kind of wanted the red one more, though, because it's the color Hamas wears.

I ordered one on Etsy around October and it never came. Let’s just say I have not called customer service to complain about never receiving it. I hope they’re ok but I’m pretty sure they’re not. 😞

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There had better be some really extreme circumstances to justify a delay this long!

[–] trite_kitten@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

In case you couldn’t read into my subtlety, I’m 90% sure they were genocided by the IOF.

oh-shit

Account was called Pali4Life and they closed their shop long ago. RIP.

Hirbawi is fantastic, I bought mine in the same pattern ages ago, and it comes with me on every desert camping trip I take (back when I wasn't too lazy to do that)

[–] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

shit they're all out, wonder when they'll restock

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That was my main reason for buying it, just to help support the local economy

[–] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You might find that there's a Friends of Palestine branch (or similar) in your city. Often they have outlets selling kufiyah if you don't want to risk it on international shipping again.

Cool, looks like they are the Australian distributor for Hirbawi so that's a good sign. (Edit: you already mentioned this in your comment above. Whoops!)

Hopefully you'll get your kufiyah soon. Have you picked out what colour you want?

Very cool!

Word to the wise: red on white represents the particular Palestinian liberation organisation that is on the Australian government's no-no list.

There isn't a precedent for it as of yet but the government is cracking down hard so if you intend on doing things in the grey area (or beyond that), I'd advise against doing so while wearing the red on white because if they really wanted to they could probably use their dragnet anti-terrorism legislation to throw the book at you (especially if you have posted anything under accounts tied to your legal name that could be considered evidence.)

After all there is no precedent until they turn someone into the precedent, so it's best to avoid unnecessary headaches imo.

[–] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Thanks, I’m aware of the significance of that combination and appreciate the advice and concern.

[–] Cummunism@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

their website is out of stock? I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY.

[–] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Check again, I was just able to place an order literally rn

[–] Cummunism@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

is this the site? https://kufiya.org/shop/

everything says notify me, not add to cart

[–] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

That's the one. I must have gotten extremely lucky then because I was able to add one to my cart and make the purchase. I got an email confirmation that it shipped too so it's not just an error

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

Yes, you have to do the notify me route. They email when they will have new stock in, then you go to the site and get a ticket to wait in queue, after which point you get access to the site and buy the items you want.

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I was late for the restock last time so I just bought a knockoff at a protest kitty-cri

Happy for you tho

Update: I was being a dumbass and not looking at the US store before so I was able to get an order in sinwar-victory

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Lovely! Glad it worked out for you.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

Yeah I have several hirbawi kufiyas! They're very good and cozy. I like how they're kinda all season too. They protect your head from sun in summer and they're a good scarf in winter. They're also gorgeous!

[–] Doubledee@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

Mine also arrived this week. Excited to wear it once cooler weather hits, it makes a great scarf.

[–] gay_king_prince_charles@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How and when do you wear these? Also what's the difference between a kufiya and a keffiyeh?

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

I'm looking into the first part. As for the second, I believe it's down to personal preference on spelling.

[–] ItsPequod@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Nice! Hopefully this means mine will arrive soon, before Saturday optimistically.
