I argued with my teen son about ordering this jacket, but he insisted.  I stand corrected-its WAY nicer than I expected.  The cotton fabric is a rich, dark black with an equally nice dark green lining. Ive already washed it once, and it came out looking great  I cant speak to its longevity, as we haven't had it that long, but my teen son has already worn it a bunch of times over a hoodie and it looks great. In addition, its a nice alternative to wearing a fleece or sweat jacket when you want your kid to look a little bit more presentable. To give you an idea of the quality of the jacket: my husband just said to me, whose nice jacket is that in the hallway?  He was referring to that one!  He was surprised when I told him what we paid for it.  Very pleased with my purchase!
