love/hate relationship with this. First off, I have worn it every day for the past 2 months, so I do like it overall. The string has not broken for me. However, on the first day I got it, I had to use safety pins (at least 5 or 6) to turn up the hood so that I can see; it hangs down over my eyes. Despite this, instead of being too big, the hood part is actually too small (the rest of it) and it feels tight on my head, much too small. It is a really strange fit. Too small everywhere except the very front part that hangs over your eyes. I haven't yet washed it because I'd need to take all the safety pins out and then put them back on later. I meant to sew it but haven't got to it yet. It's uncomfortable with the hood on for long periods (because its tight) but I can't remove the safety pins if I want to actually use the hat (because then I can't see) The rest of the blanket is perfect... except for the fact it was advertised as "wine" but its not. It is red. My son calls it my Santa Claus blanket. Please improve the hood!

This is a nice throw type blanket but that’s all. The hoodie is way too small. To be fair it is very soft and warm, and it does sort of wrap around a small person(I’m 5’4” 180lbs) so it does just fit around me, without any room left. The quality is nice, I washed it and dried it and it’s still like new. I got the red plaid and the color is vibrant. This item must be washed alone to keep the Sherpa looking clean. I also recommend drying in a light cycle or hanging to dry. I wouldn’t gift this for an adult because it’s really not big enough. Great for a small teen, child, or a family pet. It’s a nice throw or something to keep in a car, it sort of wrinkles, but it’s decent, but not as a hooded blanket.
