it's everything that I wanted and more.
"I've had my eye on this for months and finally pulled the trigger for autumn. It's really comfortable and I've been wearing it constantly since it arrived. I was confused about the strings that were connected to the D-rings at first but I did figure out a way to get it to secure the cowl in place. I found that it's helpful to run the string through a pendant or a metal anchor in order to secure both sides of the cowl to the shoulder. There really isn't a guide to wear this thing past "Put your arms through the holes". If I have a critisizm at all, it's that. As far as the actual item goes, It's perfect, no notes. I'll wear it till it desintigrates."
