I've worn this about twice and kept it stored at home. It's a knit material, so there's some pilling and a sense of wear, but I don't think there are any noticeable stains or frays. The color is a navy that's close to black! It's also recommended for Shichi-Go-San (Children's Day) and ceremonies. The size is S, but it feels like a size 90cm. Please understand that this has been stored at home, and only purchase if you are okay with that.
