Keffiyeh flavored scarves are keeping more than one actor cozy on the chilly streets of Park City, Utah during The 2008 Sundance Film festival. David Haley is supporting his film, North Starr and Colin Farrell is at Sundance for, In Bruges. Both accessorized their monochromatic outfits with similar scarves.

Urban Outfitters yanked scarves from their shelves inspired by this traditional Palestinian fabric in 2007 for the sake of cultural sensitivity.

Now it’s the boys’ turn.
