I purchased this last fall as a commuter outerwear and wore it about three times a week for a month. The color is like a mix between dark gray and dark brown. There are scratches on the pen tip, the inner fabric of the 6th, 7th, and 8th photos. They are not severely frayed or torn, but there are scratch marks and fuzziness in those areas. These scratches were made while the jacket was hanging in a shared outerwear storage area at the office. I think the scratches were caused by the tips of wire hangers. The photos are in the order of the neck, the middle of the back, and the middle of the waist. The inside of the collar, the cuffs, the inside of the cuffs, the pocket openings, the elbows, and the armpits are also clean. The front zipper works without any problems. I will fold it up small for packaging.
