condition: JACKET IS OVERALL IN GOOD CONDITION: however on few spots you could see tiny needle like holes in fabric maybe about 4-5 in all. pictures will show. They’re very tiny and hard to see but is definitely due to wear and tear. There is also two staples that I found in still in jacket which I left (could explain why there are small holes in the jacket) but that jacket is very much in tact.
It does not affect this jacket being wearable
And it’s in great condition otherwise!
