It's been quite a while since I purchased this, but I believe I've only worn it about three times. I had it dry cleaned before listing it. It's a deep black color. The texture of the fabric can be seen in the image of the ribbon loop (image 4). It has a fine, textured surface. The waist was altered by a tailor to be slightly larger. It will be shipped in the included suit bag, hung on a hanger, and placed in a paper bag. Please be aware that there may be some folding wrinkles. I didn't find any flaws, but please forgive any overlooked stains or scratches. If you have any concerns, please comment and I will take photos. Season: All Season Stains, tears, odors, etc.: None
