The picture does not do this jacket justice. It is a very rich dark brown and the texture is rugged but soft. I'm not a fan of shiny leather jackets and was wanting one that was not black, but not espresso brown. This color was just what I was looking for. I would say this jacket is brown version of the Marc Cuervo jacket. The construction is well made and you can tell of the quality in the stitches. The fit was perfect in a small, and is athletic cut for more room in the chest and shoulders so you don't look Iike a box. It is a little on the heavier side, but then again it's leather and not polyurethane. There are two interior chest pockets and the jacket is lightly insulated. My only minor complaint is the smell, it's definitely leather smell that some people may enjoy but for me it's overpowering. Granted, the smell will disappear in time with more use.
