I purchased this at the vintage clothing section of Mumokuteki in Kyoto. The color is a dark gray. The brown, walnut-style buttons are also stylish. I recommend wearing this vest a bit loose and oversized. It's also recommended for men. This item is made in Ireland from 100% wool, so it will keep you warm. I have kept it stored unused since I bought it. As it was originally purchased at a vintage clothing store, please understand this. I will fold it compactly for shipping.
