12-ounce, heavyweight, 100% cotton sandstone duck

A warm and hard-working choice, our "sandstone" active jac is lined with 100% polyester thermal, including its attached hood.

Not sure if it is a fabric itself or the touch the fabric has.

Definitely not a color though.

Thank you.

Explanation:
It must have to do with the fabric's feel:
"This Sandstone Duck Active Jacket of a durable 12 oz. 100% cotton sandstone duck that has been “micro-sanded” and washed for that lived-in feeling"
