LOUDelephant 100% Woven Cotton Gheri Mexican Style Hooded Poncho

Be wary, this is much longer than you would expect from the pictures. I am 6ft and i feel its too long on me let alone anyone smaller. It also leaves an almighty trail of small bits of material wherever you take it, aka lots lf hoovering required, though this may reduce after wearing for some time.Its is comfy to wear and seems to be well made, but i cant help but think the inside of the poncho looks better than the outside, i wiuld honestly be inclined to wear it inside out as it looks alot better.Overall it is a decent product but make sure you know exactly what you are buying beforehand!

My central heating packed up in the autumn and unfortunately requires a full overhaul of all the rads and pipes, so can't be sorted properly until the longer days of summer. In the meantime the house gets bloomin' cold during severe cold snaps.I bought this on a whim as a novelty solution to keeping warm around the house, slightly motivated by a romanticized fondness for classic spaghetti westerns perhaps.Anyway, on the positive side the poncho seems well made from thick, heavy woven cotton. The downsides are:1. As several other reviewers have noted - the poncho deposits threads and lint like a moulting spaniel, so anything worn beneath needs extensive brushing.2. Its actually pretty impractical and clumsy for wearing around my small, cluttered house as the flowing open sides and long bat-wing shoulders sweep across everything in my path.3. The openness of the garment also means its not super warm when the house is really chiiled. I would imagine it would be much more suited in cool but not super cold conditions.

Amazing.I thought I looked super snazzy in this. People only laughed because they were jealous.

I wanted a lightweight comfortable top for slouching around in and this is brilliant.Quite warm but comfortable indoors or out. Joey pocket is handy and doesn't pull the thing out of shape.Side ties keep it form flapping around. Good touch.Design is a matter of taste and I like!Criticism... This thing had clearly been in storage for ages as it had gone really, really musty. So this is how you wash it:1. Get a big bucket and fill it with warm water2. Get some wash-by-hand laundry liquid3. Wash in the bucket for a few minutes4. Spin in washing machine for 5 minutes5. Hang on a shoulder shaped hanger somewhere warm and airy until dryI will buy more of these.Enjoy.

Nice poncho and very warm. However I had to wash it several times (silk/handwash setting on washing machine as is handwash only apparently) to get rid of all the loose fibres. Took four washes and still sheds fibres. Clogged up the pump and filter in the washing machine (probably my fault, it does say handwash only) but had it been handwashed it would have clogged the plughole.Be prepared to follow the wearer round with a powerful vacuum cleaner to pick up all the bits that fall away from the garment. And don't let anyone wearing one of these anywhere near your sofa/soft furnishings.Perhaps best worn outdoors on a very windy day.

Item is lovely very thick soft material. Arrived quickly. Bought for a christmas gift. Only thing it has an awful smell and prob going to take a couple of washes to get rid of it. But apart from that I think itll be well recieved

A beautiful and very ethnic unisex poncho, it looks fabulous and is exceptionally warm. When you open it for the first time be aware that there and many little bits of loose thread inside and outside that will stick to you clothes so a good shaking outdoors will get ride of most of it. It also has a very organic smell for the first few days but that's to be expected. Those minor things aside it is stunning and great value too.

This keeps me warm and cosy in the portuguese winter. The qualty is second to none and the arm straps make it more than easy to keep it in place when digging water channals and when up trees harvesting tangerines and other fruit. The hood is great for keeping my ears warm and it washes nice to keeping its shape. This is a very good product and i love it.
