I bought this for my 14 year old who is going as a WWII pilot for Halloween.  The scarf is very cheaply made and very stiff.  We had to wash it for him to even tolerate wearing it for longer than a few minutes as it was very scratchy.  We washed it on the delicate/hand wash cycle with a very light tumble dry.  The edges are already unravelling as they are not finished properly.  Several of the fringes have fallen appart.  He hasn't even worn it yet and it's already coming appart.  I would not buy another one of these.
