It's very hard to photograph the exact shade; the color is like merlot

Purple with a red cast, rather than a blue cast

100% Merino wool, made in Japan

Beautiful, matching purple buttons down the front

Large patch pockets 

Generously sized, it has a nice weight to it

Purchased many years ago in Japan and carefully stored

I live in a warm climate where I really don't need anything this warm, hope it finds a new home

vintage, but in excellent condition, extra button is attached

no fuzziness, no stain, no smell

length is approximately 30 inches down the center at the back

armpit to armpit is approximately 20.5 inches

cleaning out my closet so no returns, please

I welcome questions
