Shipping to the US took a little over a week, felt pretty fast. The stoke itself is beautiful, the blue grey identical to online photos. However, for girlies like me with bigger shoulders (I wear size 10 in lululemon define jackets, weigh about 160lbs atm) this maybe too small to wear with the hook attached. I’m planning to get clear elastics added so I can wear it more like a shrug. It really does add a touch of glam but I hope this helps someone debating between the regular or medium sizes in the other color variations of this stole.
