There are some complaints about this scarf being too short, but in my opinion, it needs to be.  I bought it for warmth.  It seems to naturally snuggle around my neck without having to be tied and it's just long enough to stay down in my coat without all this excess scarf taking up room in my coat.  I bought two of these because I had found something similar for twice the price and was loving it so I wanted a couple more.  My poms have not fallen off yet and seem secure.  I can't locate any little hole at one end to slip the scarf through, but it doesn't seem to be a necessary feature so it's fine. I consider this little scarf one of my greatest finds.  If you are expecting it to be long or want a long scarf 'look', this one is not for you.  But if you are looking for something to keep your neck warm on those below freezing days, you will thoroughly enjoy owning one of these.
