I live in North Texas where the winters are usually pretty mild. With temps in the 40s and clear, I had a need to walk downtown to see the latest Star Wars flick. Wore this baby for the first time. It was great. I felt a little self-conscious but it sure felt good. Had my own little blanket in the cold theatre. Loved it. It feels great, looks great on me, and is well constructed,. I expect to get many years of use from this wonderful garment.

Your product arrived timely and in good condition. I had an alpaca poncho back in the 80s but I lost it in moving. Its very nice to have one again. My friends already love it. Someday I may try for a vicuna, but this works fine for me. We dont get too cold in DC, and layering with a wool poncho works so well. Thank you.

Beautiful weaving, quality, and weight. This easily doubles as a throw blanket. All the other reviewers were right - you just dont see something this good anywhere. LOVE the striking and natural wool - and slight natural alpaca wool scent - so you know its the real deal. Another lifetime treasure from Peru, and NOVICA. Highly recommended!
