Good Vintage Condition - The piece presents beautifully and is certainly still wearable. There is some overall color fade and wear to the piece, a few minor pin holes where it looks like it was taken in (and then out again) at some point. The button holes may need some reinforcement eventually as you can see from the photo they do have minor wear. The elastic at the legs and the metal zipper appear to be in great shape!! Priced accordingly for condition.
