Husband purchased on website and wore a few times before he lost weight. All items owned by us and from a smoke free home. I believe these are dark green in color, but the pics look black. They are very dark in color. The only issue is the faded spot on the left pocket (pictured). I do not use bleach so all I can guess is it may have been a defect in the fabric when it was washed. I just don't know. Otherwise, these are in very good condition and have lots of life left in them.
