It's warm with a padded filling. Made of fine-wale corduroy fabric, it's soft to the touch and not stiff. I've used it for three seasons, so there's some fading and wear. There are no noticeable stains. The color may differ slightly from the actual product. Also, it will be folded up small for shipping, so please be aware that there may be wrinkles or creases. Recycled packaging materials will be used. Thank you for looking.
