It was light and warm, and I used it often. I had other outerwear, so I wore them in rotation. The hood can be removed with a zipper. Since my child wore it, the cuffs are slightly black. Personally, I don't mind it that much, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Also, ribbons are sewn on, but the stitching has come undone in one place on each. However, the ribbons are sturdy, so they will maintain their design even without being sewn. If you are concerned, you can repair them yourself. I think it's still wearable, even at the level of going-out clothes. I will compress it as much as possible and ship it compactly. Please purchase only if you understand that it is a used item m(_ _)m Discounts are only available for combined purchases, and will be the shipping cost. Immediate purchase is welcome!
