Condition Report

Condition:
Overall strcucture is very good with some minor wear on the collar points, minor discoloration to the black satin collar and a spot on the right undersleeve near the cuff. The lining under the left sleeve has started to tear.
The satin necktie that is worn under collar appears to have been attached at some point but the stitching has come loose. The right welt pocket opening stitches are starting to come loose.

The stated overall condition of the lot is based on the assumption that the wear is consistent with age and use. As everything is sold 'as is', we suggest that you request a more detailed condition report and additional photo. This can be obtained via the INQUIRE button or by email at couturecr@lesliehindman.com. Condition is a matter of opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact.
