♛Condition

Very good vintage shape. Cleaned and freshened. 80+ years old.

There's been some mending at some point along the underarm seam in three places, hidden/not seen during wear and difficult to pick out due to the fabric texture/shine...repairs feel very sturdy. See pic! Otherwise, I can't find anything to report.
