Update: Customer service issued me a partial refund after viewing photos of the frayed area. I've upgraded my review because of it. Triangle at the throat frayed after first wash I just got my poncho this afternoon and put it in the wash on Delicate. When I took it out to hang it up to dry I noticed that the little triangle of terrycloth at the throat was unraveling. It looks like the edges were either not stitched down or so loose that they came unsewn allowing the edges to fray. I washed it alone as a small load on Delicate cycle using cold water. I'll try to get a good photo once it's dry. I'm disappointed because I've wanted one of these for a while now and the cost was steep. The poncho itself seems to have come through fine though.
