The color is black, but it's close to sumi-kuro (a muted black). Size: 8, which is a Japanese size 9. I've worn it once since receiving it. It doesn't look bulky, it's warm, and it looks sleek. I have too many similar coats, so I'm selling this one. It's the perfect coat for the coming season. The lining uses Aquascutum's club check pattern. For those who understand that this has been stored at home.
