Hebron, in the occupied West Bank: Izzat Yasser Hirbawi, a balding 55-year-old man, greets visitors with a smile at the Hirbawi Factory’s gate. According to the factory’s proud website, Hebron is the only location in Palestine that makes Palestinian keffiyehs. Izzat, Abdullah, and Jouda Hirbawi are the three brothers who currently own and run the firm. Their father, Hajj Yasser, had established it in 1961, and the three of them began working there as children. Hajj Yasser was a trader who later became an entrepreneur. He started off importing keffiyehs from Syria and later decided to open his own factory using two looms that he brought in from Japan. Hajj Yasser had a strong devotion to the keffiyeh, which he instilled in his boys at a young age, teaching them the significance of the garment as well as its symbolic meaning among Palestinians worldwide.
