So cool for the fisherman in your life or if you love to fish! I never realized that it actually has the record weights under the different species. I freshly laundered it, but a very tame squirrel ran over the bottom of the collar and soiled it. It will wash out, just didn?t want to do it again. The weight is a medium textured type of cotton. Will be suitable for fall or cooler nights. Shipped with USPS First Class Package.
