Condition
Good condition. Shoulder padding a little misshapen (easy to access for replacement or removal). Light wear to buttons.
A little threadbare under the fold of the collar from the stain removal process, a little discolouration remains along the fold. Light watermark to the lining near the hem. No other apparent marks.
One moth-hole in the back, 5mm x 5mm. Some other minor moth damage to the shell (though the weave of the fabric hides it well, they aren’t proper holes but a bit threadbare); 2mm x 5mm near the front edge half way down, and 1mm x 1mm, 2mm x 2mm and 5mm x 8mm on left sleeve. The most noticeable flaw is a cluster of moth holes in the lining of the right pocket - see photos for flaws.
