The fabric is sturdy and the colors are vibrant, but it gives a retro, fashionable feel rather than being flashy. Wearing a cardigan over it would tone down the flashiness even more. The lining is a light indigo color and covers the entire garment, absorbing sweat and preventing stickiness. It's comfortable to wear. The color doesn't fade. It's made in Japan. It fastens with a zipper down the center of the back. Length: 72cm
