The flannel was soft, light and looked well made. Although I warned my husband when I gave it to him that if he didn't like it I could return it. I ordered it from Chili Pepper and it's definitely not a crimson check, it's pink. It's very pink and not fake. I double checked the label and it says the correct color but it doesn't look like the photo. It looks amazing on him and he has no color issues. I definitely wouldn't order this color, but it all turned out.
