I purchased this scarf to liven up a boring black sweater. It is made of a lightweight rayon-like material and is soft against the skin. The colors portrayed in the Amazon photo are accurate. It's nothing spectacular - I've seen similar scarves for sale by seasonal street vendors for $15. However, it is quite colorful (in a muted way). It wasn't exactly a steal at $28, but it also was a decent value considering the product quality. It was shorter than most scarves I own...wish it was just a bit longer. Also, the labels attached to his scarf are stickers, but the sticker adhesive is quite strong. I pulled a little bit of the fabric out of place when I removed the sticker, and I tried to remove sticker carefully. Use caution when removing sticker!
