No complaints about this scarf in the colors of the best house of Hogwarts (Slytherin of course), colors are impeccable, the scarf is very soft and the shield is niquel. No sewing problem for me, I think it depends on the lot. In short scarf Perfect except it is much shorter as announced on the site !!! She was supposed to measure 1m90 but mine does not exceed 1m65 !!! The Gryffindor (which I purchased for a friend) is much longer in comparison.
