Just got this in the mail yesterday and wore it today.  It looks exactly like the picture. It's a very soft knit and not too heavy.  I get over heated when I'm commuting to work on the train and always have to take off my scarf, but I think this will allow me to keep a little cooler while keeping me warm during my walks to and from the train station.  It was about 30 degrees in Chicago this morning to give you some reference.
