I like striped sheets because it makes it easy to know which way to put them on (I ALWAYS guess wrong!), so imagine my surprise when I found that these stripes run side to side instead of up and down!  Once I got past that, I really like them.  Yes, they are a bit wrinkled when you take them out of the dryer, but aren't all sheets?  I really like the way they feel ... nice and crisp.  They are a bit thin, but still feel relatively substantial.  I really hope they hold up.  Now could someone explain the extra flap in the pillowcase to me?
