The color is a blackish crimson. I think the sixth photo is the closest representation. A hood is folded and stored in the back of the collar, making it a parka. (Photo 10) It's a size L, but it's roomy and feels like an LL. I haven't had many chances to wear it, so there are some fold wrinkles. It will be shipped in a compressed package. Thank you for your understanding. No price reduction, please.
