Delightfully wearable shape, with no obtrusive flaws. Any small faults do not retract from wearability and will be fully-disclosed. Pics are taken in strong sunlight and colors bleach-out in some images.

Noted minor issue: one speck of bleach-dot on the neck-edge of collar. Slight fade along collar edge. Shoulders also show a slight fade as compared to the body. These are small imperfections and not noticable -- the jacket is very wearable.

Possible alteration: unusual 'square' gussets under the arms may have been added later by a seamstress -- but the material matches. See second to last pic.

** Vintage items are precious, pre-owned pieces of history. Many have unique dyes and handcrafted prints, artisan weaves and intricate hand-tailoring -- details no longer available except in modern couture. Please love & respect your vintage.
