Colors are great and as pictured. Material, as other reviewers have said, is on the thin side—more of a “it gets a little chilly on a summer evening” weight than something that is actually for warmth. No real shrinkage with washing. The only downside to these is that they are very long for women, nearly tunic length and run on the larger side (Unisex fit). Several of the people in our group I made these for are pretty petite and they were swimming in them. That being said, everyone loved them!
