This is a thin knit with simple black and white stripes. Although it's a thin material, it feels good against the skin and is warm. It's easy to wear without being bulky even when paired with a coat or down jacket! Because of its simple colors and shape, I think it's convenient to have one. I purchased this new at a LEPSIM store and wore it several times, so there are no noticeable stains, but please understand that it is a used item and only purchase if you are okay with some wear and tear. Thank you for looking.
