Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Edging irl
I'm honestly surprised that Hirbawi is still operational. Guess that's Palestinian resistance for ya.
They're in the West Bank iirc so not subject to the worst of it atm
I understand that, but they still make raids on the west bank and I'd imagine they'd be a high priority.
I checked their USA site and they're already sold out :( edit: guess I'll wait in line for their main site
Since they're only allowing one keffiyeh per order, anyone know if they will cancel my orders if I wait in the line multiple times to buy multiple keffiyehs? Wanted to buy three as gifts
There is a reason why the website is struggling and they limit people to 1 keffiyeh per account, it is to ensure people got their fair share and chance. If you want to buy multiple Hirbawis, you can use licensed distributor like
Abuwear placed their order directly to the factory and you can get as many as you want with very minimum ($5 per scarf) markup
EDIT: Nevermind, you also cannot preorder from abuwear anymore, as they are completely backlogged. I guess just be patient, and remember the whole reason behind all these delays is ISRAEL ILLEGAL OCCUPATION. Call your local representative and support your local antiwar grassroot protests.
I would also not recommend Abúwear, they are/were taking preorders, not sending any money to the factory, and basically using it as free money despite the fact they haven’t fulfilled any orders for the best part of a year.
site appears to be struggling
Yes, it is a complete struggle city
They also didn't say that people are limited to ONE keffiyeh per account, but you can add as many add ons (wallets, flags, swags, etc.). Eventually I managed to check out the inverted color one and a made in palestine, Palestinian flag. I've been buying one of each kind per restock, but there are so many other colors (red/white, rainbow, red/black) I want...
Everything about my order appeared to go through, but then where I expected the website to give me a confirmation, it just said that the session had expired or something. My bank took the money so I hope I get a scarf soon. Worst case I donated some more money to Palestine which would be pretty based regardless.
If you put in your email at checkout, you should get some kind of confirmation number and email
Hope it works out for you, maybe email them later if you don't get any confirmation and show screenshot of your bank statement
I just got an email confirmation
I'd recommend desktop PC if you can. You probably don't want to leave the browser page in the background for too long on a mobile device, if at all.
Very glad I bought one the last time I could. I wear it literally every day now that it's cold. I am constantly surprised by how warm it is. If I can manage to sit through the line I'll grab another one either for myself or as a gift for a loved one
That was painful, went on last night, waited for 1+hr to get to the front of the queue, put the red one in my basket, pressed to checkout, the website 404’d. Kicked me back to the start of the queue, by the time I was back in the red one was sold out. Damn.
It was a long wait but I was able to snag one before bed last night. I'm excited for it to arrive!
Yo, got that email today about the restock
