I have seen one too many seal movie where the operatives wear kiafiyahs. I shopped locally and the options weren't very varied and they were extremely expensive.  I naturally popped onto Amazon, saw this kiafiyah.  I liked the colors and the pattern.  The price was a bonus.  The kiafiyah has been washed several times and seems to have maintained its color and weave.  It is very comfortable on cold Midwestern days, and isn't too unfashionable then it isn't wrapped around my head.  Should I ever lose this one, I would definitely order this one agiain.
