By my own choice, I prefer more muted colors (blue, green, black), and stay away from bright colors (red, yellow).
upside, never baste the pleats and redo them, just toss and grab another one.

seriously though, I would like a heavier one than the one i have. I can only guess its an acrylic, since it didn't have tags on it and really seems to blow in the wind rather easily. (I'd order a wool SWK if they had a size/tartan match for me and I had a bit more money)
