The color is dark brown. Photo 9 is the closest color to the actual item. Wool felt hat. With a leather-style band. No smell from use. I considered listing it as "Like new," but I've listed it as "No noticeable scratches or stains" just to be safe. Used only once or twice and then stored. ◉ To avoid any issues, I have carefully considered and described the condition of the item, but please understand that this is based on my personal assessment. Please purchase with this in mind. If you have any questions, feel free to comment. ◉ Returns are not accepted. Thank you for viewing. Color: Brown
