Condition 

No major flaws. I hadn't noticed before, but it has a micro-repair at the back (pictured), really only noticeable by texture - it's so well done. The hem has two inches which can be let down to allow foir a standard 40 inch overall length.

Please note that these are vintage items with a previous life, so minor signs of wear are almost inevitable. These signs could include previous alterations, repairs, frays, minor stitch defects or small marks. But please, don't expect the item to be in pristine unworn condition - unless otherwise stated.

We endeavour to show or describe obvious imperfections on each listing to assist in making an informed purchase.  You are welcome to ask any questions regarding sizing or condition before any purchase. We assure you of a prompt reply, including additional photography if required.

Comment
