I ordered this a little large because I know from experience that they will shrink. That's why I was looking for a replacement for another one I had. The burgundy is a nice rich color even after two washings and trips through the dryer. I saw a lot of complaints about threads, but it's not that big of a deal to me. There are some here and there, but not so bad that I would ever consider returning it. It's heavy and warm enough to wear in the winter. Very soft as well. When this one wears out, I will definitely buy another if they are still carrying it. It does run long. I wanted one to my feet, but this one is actually to the floor. That's not uncommon for me because I'm rather short. It will continue to shrink as I wash it. If it really bothers me I can easily hem it.
