This is my favorite comforter I've ever had.  The large plaid side is a really soft, warm flannel.  The small plaid side which is equally nice, has a cooler feel.  The colors are cozy and warm...very rustic looking which I love. Even though the pillow shams are on the thin side, they are also soft warm flannel. I finished off the look with a tan and brown furry moose throw pillow.  Love the whole look!
