I'm glad I read others reviews before I purchased this so I knew what to expect.  Upon opening, it does look like a large piece of unfinished fabric but once pulled out and slung around the neck, it is fabulous.  I haven't taken mine off since I got it.  My new favorite scarf.  I purchased the dark grey and it's perfect.  Can't wait to wear it on my trip abroad.

Uodated*. Wore it in my trip and initially liked it but then it started to snag and ball and generally start to loose quality in the fabric.  Disappointed In this buy.  Probably won't ever wear it again.
