These napkins are a generous size and weight, a rich, true navy color, and nicely hemmed. They are expensive, but elegant. If you are giving them as a gift, know that they come beautifully packaged. I am looking forward to using them with a fine, French tablecloth and am certain they will enhance the meal! They come with washing instructions, and will probably need to be pressed after washing on a gentle cycle. I'm hoping they will last for years to come.
