Good value for money, good token of solidarity
Summary for the impatient: it provides good value for money as a garment, and it's an excellent, visible token of solidarity with the people of Occupied Palestine.The shipping was VERY prompt--I received my kuffiyya --(the trad black-and-white one, not the red-and-white that I can't seem to change)-- almost immediately, the advantage of having local stocks rather than having to send to Palestine for them.I'd never seen a kuffiyya up close "in the flesh" before now, and I'd made 3 assumptions that turned out to be wrong:- the fabric is not tightly woven. It alternates thread with no-thread so that air can pass through pretty easily when the kuffiyya is not bunched up or layered. Which is nice for hot weather. At first I thought it was a knit --it gives a sort of t-shirt-material impression at first glance-- but it's not, it's a straight over-under-over-under basket weave. I imagine it'll look "smoother" after I've washed it a time or two.- the straight bars of color around the edge are woven in, but the decoration (scallops, netting) is not. The decoration is added to the surface with something like an industrial sewing machine that knows how to do decorative stitches (my first thought was "oh! my machine knows how to do that", but the black thread used for the decorative stitches is far too thick for a little tabletop machine no matter how smart and sturdy it is). Because the decorative stitches are added-on, the base fabric gets a tiny bit snagged where the decoration is being "tied off" so it can skip to the next section. And because it's not woven in, the decoration is only on one side.- the band of tasseling around the edges is not integral to the kuffiyya, it's also added on. I should have known that it would be, but for some reason it surprised me. The tasseling looks like handwork (if there's a machine that knows how to do it, I can't imagine how it would work), so I hope it's not imported from China.What I'd call the "fit and finish" is sketchy, but I'm not bothered by it -- the kuffiyya would have to retail for $50 here to justify that much extra attention to detail - or be made by slave labor in China which would be repulsive as well as inauthentic. I can do the fit-and-finish myself, for this price.When it arrived I spread it out on my bed to look at it. Naturally the cat whom I live with and support immediately decided I'd bought it for him and gave it his Felid Seal Of Approval: he curled up right in the middle of it for a nap.I bought this one mostly for solidarity, but now that I've seen how utilitarian it is I'll soon be buying at least one more.

Not bad for 26$
I'm used to polyester fabrics, so cotton is a change of pace for me. It's was pretty itchy out of the box, but one wash helped a lot. The stiching isn't perfect, but they are hand made in a factory and sold pretty cheap, so I would expect as much. Not a lot of loose threads, but there are a few I counted, all on the edges, which were kind of sloppy to be honest (one spot, the stitches almost went all the way off the edge). The extra thread helped me sow up an accidential cut I made in the fabric while I was removing the tag (a white tag is a very big contrast to olive drab, worth the damage to remove).The fabric without any folds is barely see-through, but after one or two folds it's impossible. The more you roll it up, the warmer it gets. I don't think I'll wear olive drab during the summer because of heat asorbtion, I got this for areas with less sun exposure. Olive drab is probably the "ugliest" of colors, but I think it still looks awesome, and I intend to get another one in white. I washed it to see if I could get it a little softer, the dye didn't leak, but my hands were a little itchy (use gloves the first time, seriously). The black wavy pattern shows up on one side only. Not sure what it's like on other colors.It's a bit large and there's a lot of fabric to work with. This is the first shemagh I've owned, so at this point I don't know if I'd bother with a lower priced shemagh. Yes, you do look like a terrorist if you put it on full facemask in the US, but these have so many more functions and styles than just full face masking. I have this one specifically for my bug out bag. You could get a bandana or a t-shirt, but you sacrifice style and fitting, though it'd be cheaper I guess. I'd recommend it to a friend if these were actually in style at my country.Update 7/26/2017:I wear the two that I have all the time during the winter. They did soften up after a few washes.
