Worn a few times. It's more of a charcoal black than true black, like sumi-kuro (ink black). It's warm because it's down, and the zipper goes all the way up to the neck, so it's quite windproof. The fit is also on the larger side, so you can wear it even with thick layers underneath. I will compress it for shipping. I think there are no noticeable major stains, but I am a private seller, so there may be oversight. Also, please understand that this is a used item and has been stored at home.
