I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas after he mentioned wanting a more "professional" looking winter coat. I purchased the charcoal black and it is a nice dark grey almost with a very subtle tweed like pattern in black and grey. He loves the coat and said that it is very warm which is a must for Wisconsin winters! It looks great and was an amazing value. I paid $55 for this coat just before Christmas 2012. The medium size fit him perfectly, the size chart here was right on for fit. He's 5' 7" with a 32" waist and there was plenty of extra room for a bulky sweater or sweatshirt to be worn underneath. All in all a great buy.
