Condition
In great vintage condition. This piece is over 75 years old.
We consider wear and repairs part of the garments story but “flaws” of note are -
Some light marks as expected, label is present but illegible. It’s had an old nicely done repair to the collar fold and We have refinished the cuff fold so it has a nice clean seam.
