I will preface this review by saying that I sew and want to cheat on a project with this one. I say this because I work with real silk all the time. It's not silk, and no, I'm not just a grumpy shopper who thinks because it's not soft, it's not silk either. When I opened the package I was immediately disappointed. I could tell by the sheen that it was probably synthetic. I open the corner of the package and yes, it doesn't look like silk. Pull it out, pull out some fibers and start the game. Smells of plastic and rolls into hard plastic. This is polyester. False advertising, lies and high prices to deceive people and try to deceive those of us who know the value of silk. I don't understand why these sellers think they won't get caught in such a lie. Will return. And don't buy if you're looking for silk. Even if you're just looking for pocket squares. They're really cheaply made. You will look cheap. And given the price, go elsewhere to buy your clothes. Bad, inferior product.
