This was my first cashmere scarf, and I was looking for something both light and warm, while remaining stylish. I am a guy, and wanted something to wear underneath my overcoat or leather jacket, so I didnt want anything feminine (obviously !). This scarf looked very good, and had excellent ratings. Had a whole ton of colors !! I initially ordered a red and black tartan one, but then changed my mind to this black gradation one.. and I am glad I did !! this is an excellent scarf, and is so light. Feels extremely comfortable around the neck, and no matter what style you use to wear a scarf, this wears very warmly and close around your neck and stays there ! doesnt move around, rub around your neck and give any kind of discomfort. This gives your neck - and chest, depending on how you wear it - very good warmth without overheating.. didnt think cashmere was this good !
I know there are reviews about the label being stuck on, rather than stitched, and yes, thats true. and yes, its also true that the label seems to come off easily. But I dont think it will bother me even if it does come off. I havent washed it yet (I have only worn it a few times so far) and when I do wash it (as per instructions - havent read them yet), even if the label comes off, I dont think it would bother me. I will update this if the quality degrades, but so far, I am very pleased with the comfort, feel, softness and warmth.
Highly recommended for style and comfort !
