I've been scouring reviews in search of a nice travel wrap and based on the great reviews decided the HappyLuxe was the one to have. I ordered both the Jet black and the Brushed Jet Black to determine which would be best for my needs. I opened the Jet black and my first impression was that it was overpriced for really nothing more than a piece of 95/5 micro modal fabric with a serged edge. (Yes, it also has the warmer pocket but imo there's no real added value in that... in fact, it is one of the few things other reviewers complained about!) That said, if you can get past the price, it is very soft to the touch, drapes nicely and is also very lightweight- which could be a pro or con depending on what you're looking for. Also, I can't speak to how it will look/drape after washing (more on that below!).

I next opened the brushed black and my immediate thought was ...THIS IS IT! It's heavier (ie warmer) than the jet black, the fabric feels amazing (cashmere like!), it drapes beautifully and other than the pocket, it's everything I hoped it would be! Worth every penny! So why the glowing review, yet 1 star?? It did not hold up to even a delicate wash and air dry!  I laundered this alone, in cold water, on the "handwash" cycle in my washer and it came out of the washer looking as if it had a ruffled edge! (It was difficult to fully capture this in the attached pics but know it looks even worse on!) When I saw this I really hoped it was temporary and that it would smooth out if I laid it out flat and allowed it to air dry but that was not the case. Sadly, there's no way this can be worn as a wrap now as it just looks too sloppy. The fabric itself still feels fabulous so I guess I can still use it as a lap throw- but I could've purchased a throw for much less.
