This was, and remains, one of the best investments I've made. It's beautiful, well-designed, and incredibly comfy. It's also subtle enough to wear in most contexts, and mixes and matches splendidly! I get so many compliments on the embroidery.
I was a bit worried that it would wear out in the wash, but I've had it for almost a year now and it's still soft and lovely. It does stiffen a bit over time, but only to the extent that most other apparel does. Definitely follow the care instructions-- wash on a delicate cycle and air dry.
Thanks to Alchemic Oddities for being the kind of small business that I can proudly support, and confidently recommend to my equally nerdy friends.
