Let me start off by saying that I have never worn a scarf. But I love me some Doctor Who, particularly the infamous Tom Baker. I ordered the shorter scarf because I'm only five foot two. It's really adorable and it's really been cold and Chicagoland so it's really been worn a lot! I get a lot of compliments and it's actually a very warm scarf. I can wrap it twice around my neck and I still get a nice hang.
