I was surprised when I got this scarf to find it pleated and then tied into a figure 8 knot. I guess it's a Levi's accessory thing, and I apologize for forgetting to take a photo before untying it. However, once you untie it, the pleats actually give you a kind of cool fashion neck scarf, which I'll try to get a shot of. You can certainly iron them out if you want (I had intended to use this for a head scarf) but for neck wear it actually works quite nicely. The material itself is not quite as soft as some other viscose scarves I've gotten, it's closer to fine cotton. For the price, I think this is a pretty good buy.
