This is a velvet jacket. The color is dark brown. The velvet has a sheen and the fabric is thick, giving it a luxurious feel. It's an old piece, and the texture of the velvet is much richer than what you find today. I've worn it 2-3 times. As you can see in the photos, the cuffs and collar are not worn at all, and it's like new. However, since it's an old item, there may be oversights or discrepancies in my assessment. Please understand that the size measurements are based on my amateur judgment. Size 9 Length: 61cm Shoulder width: 37.5cm Width: 46cm Sleeve length: 56cm
