I've worn this about twice. It's not itchy and is soft. It's convenient for wearing in the car or as a light outer layer. Rather than a main winter coat for going outside, it feels like a thick long knit cardigan. Finally, I've included a website example of how it looks when worn, although the color is different, so please refer to it if you like. Please only purchase if you understand that this item has been stored at home and worn before.
