The image appears reddish, but the color is actually orange. I've only worn different colors, so this item is new and unused, only tried on. The tag has been removed. The snood is also great for everyday use♡ I intended to wear it, so I moved one black button to a size that fit me. It can be returned to its original position. Please let me know if you'd like me to do so. This vest comes with a snood. It doesn't feel scratchy against the skin, and has a very soft and fluffy texture. It has excellent stretch, so although it's labeled as size 36, it should also fit a size 38.
