Pictures are washed-out a bit .... color of these wool pants is a solid matte black (pictures show a tinge of 'blue' which is not there actually....) I inspect all of my pre-owned and vintage clothing for holes, tears, rips, flaws, etc., doing my best to highlight any inconsistencies in quality and condition that may exists. My goal is to provide customers with nice, consistent, good quality apparel -- that is my primary concern as I curate items for resale. If you are in any way dissatisfied with your purchase, please reach out to me -- as always: hassle-free returns. Buy with confidence: free 30-day returns. Shipping: all items are shipped out immediately -- your package will be in the mail by the following day.
