Obviously there is still a little too soft for evaluating the heat of the plaid, will be seen this winter. Item arrived in a square clear plastic resealable bag with a zipper, convenient for storing summer. Bordeaux is not my favorite color, but hey, this is a test article. Firstly the fleece is very soft and the seams have a good finish. 100% acrylic, it is not made to be worn next to the skin, but this is not his vocation. It is machine washable at 40 ° and, of lying, does not form folds when dry. I am rather large and plaid can cover me either shoulders or legs, but not both simultaneously. For reading in the chair, it will choose (on the legs with a robe seems the most sensible choice for warmth all over the body).
