Condition:THE FIRSTThe overall condition is good thought the neckline and sleeve cuffs have some soiling due to wear, the snaps at the neckline are fragile and the crepe lining along the neck has worn through and is hanging in sections. The right sleeve cuff is missing a button, and the label dye in the left side seam has bled. THE SECONDThe overall condition is fair with the overall color having faded due to age, the ribbon trim has faded and has become brittle with age, darkening in some areas throughout. There are some small holes located on the front right chest and front right pocket. There are some orange spots throughout but most noticeable on the front right and left chest, elbow of the left sleeve, and the center lower back. There is a tear on the ribbon trim between the third and fourth button holes.Everything is sold 'As Is'. The stated overall condition of the lot is based on the assumption that the wear is consistent with age and use. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging.
