I bought this about four years ago and wore it three or four times a season, but I'm selling it because I didn't wear it this winter. There are no noticeable pills or fuzzing. (Sorry, the dry cleaning tag is still attached.) It's a dark navy color and the length isn't too long, so it was easy to wear. The fastener in the center uses something like hemp cord. I especially liked that it has a zipper to keep the wind out. I wore it with my casual clothes, but I think it would also look good with a student's uniform.
