I purchased this scarf for a late-November trip to Paris where the temperature was around 50F/10C. This scarf, paired with a reasonable wool coat (or even a thick sweater on occasion), had me walking the streets for hours in comfort. The fabric is of the highest quality, which means warmth without sweat and softness without itch. Style-wise, you could wear this scarf in any major international city and you won't feel underdressed.
