To prevent the neck from feeling scratchy, the neck area is 50% cotton and 50% polyester. There is some pilling. The body is 100% wool. The color is wine red, although it looks purple in the photos... The color is shown in the second photo. Measurements (laid flat): Length: 61 cm Width: 40.5 cm Shoulder width (between shoulder seams): 35 cm Sleeve length: 59 cm There may be some errors. Will be compressed for shipping. It's a men's item, but it fit me perfectly, and I usually wear a women's XL.
