Using this for my sons cub scout patches rather than sewing directly onto his uniform. He wears a 12/14 in jeans, L/XL shirt and this is a perfect fit. He has plenty of room to grow, and the length is great considering he is tall for his age. It is warm but won't be too warm for the warm months.
It is very soft, the red is a great shade and we like that their are cinchers on the inside at the bottom for tightening.
