I ordered this scarf on a whim, as I wear a lot of black and white and thought that the red and blue in the black version of this flag scarf would be fun. It came in about 4 days, and had a slight odor to it, but that has left with a couple days outside of the shipping bag. It is a very large rectangular scarf which I like because it provides a lot of options--color around a shirt, a bit of a cover-up if needed. a shawl if it gets cold. It is a bit thin, but being so large, it is easy to fold several times to become more substantial. The print is stronger on one side than the other, but the non-printed side is only a slightly muted version of the same design--not white or shaded. I'd highly recommend and may buy other scarves from this company.
