CONDITION
Good condition. Handmade piece so some finishes are not factory perfect, but this is nothing that detracts, mostly just when scrutinising internal seams. Hem has been let down leaving the faintest line where the old fold was. Some slight signs of old stitching around the waist band, where the belt had been sewn on.
