Del Mex mens Classic Classic

My grandson is 12 and was asking for a western "cowboy" poncho for Christmas. He is fascinated with cowboys and the old west. This suited him just fine. It was a little big for a small 12 yr old but he wears it a lot, with plenty of room to grow. The material is thick and just what I expected. He was very happy with his gift.

Well made and authentic. Needed it for a costume piece and this worked really well. Tag says it was made in Mexico. Stitching is done nicely and I can't find any bad seams on it. This particular color (Blue) is quite nice as well. Looking closely at the material...it seems that different types of stitching and different yarns where used to create the effect and patterns that the poncho has. The edges that surround the arms and open neck area are done well. It is a black strip that keeps the ends from fraying. It is important to note that this is a piece that is to be hand washed only. It is well made...but I feel a washing machine would probably eat this up and destroy some of the more intricate stitching work. It isn't the thickest material, but I think it could certainly block the wind and keep you warm when combined with other gear. I bought it for a costume piece but it looks so cool and is so well made that I will probably take it with me the next time we go camping. It would be perfect for that fall weather and colder evenings around the campfire. If your looking for a traditional Mexican poncho...you can't go wrong with these. Nice price and well made.

I bought this as a costume, not as something to keep me warm. It's well made and not of cheap material like many things from costume shops; though it probably isn't up to machine washing. As a costume, it might be a bit on the warm side, as it really is a blanket.

Made a big hit at the western themed birthday party. Seems a quality product.

Good value for the money.
