Condition: Good - there are 2 repaired slits done with vintage mercerized fine cotton thread in twill on jacket, one on sleeve and one on very back bottom, approximately 5 or 6 small darns on trousers due to old small moth nibbles (completed with same thread) a small amount of threadbare spots but not holes, multiple small areas of slight discoloration (that will likely come right out after a proper cleaning). This has not been cleaned and will be up to the buyer to decide if and when to clean. It has no odors and presents beautifully in person.
