i've been wearing mine every day (which, by the way, ones made by hirbawi are unbelievably soft and beautiful) and have gotten quite a few hostile reactions to it. even people outright saying its "disturbing to see" and one guy yelling "fuck you". and they call the left snowflakes... they're offended over a beautiful scarf.

hirbawi is completely sold out of all colors from what I can tell, which is as awesome for them as it is sad for me

Sold out and not taking pre orders.

if you get onto their mailing list, they send out emails when the distributors receive shipments of them from palestine. i got one immediately after getting an email about a restock of a few of them.
