I wasn't expecting this scarf to be as nice as it is.  It is exactly as described, thick, soft, and warm. Actually, it's better than described. It's a very, very nice, warm, quality scarf for a low price. The navy is a deep rich color vs the bland, dull navy that I often see. Although I just received it, I know that it will be the scarf I will be wearing to some very nice events this winter.
