Jacket displays evidence of time and wear. The white yarn around the edges and some of the white applique are faintly pink from color bleed. There have been a handful of repairs to reinforce breaks in the yarn and there are a couple yarn blossoms missing petals or stems. Jacket is overall structurally sound with plenty of wear left and has been priced gently to reflect condition.
