condition: worn little and well cared for. Appears clean with no smell. Fur is soft and pliable, no repairs found. No noticeable crushing to the velvet, only a couple tiny spots. One tiny spot where there is pile loss on the lower left front of coat, but not noticeable and will most likely be hidden behind fur trim along the front when wearing. No noticeable issues with lining, fabric is dark, only found a couple tiny water spots that are not noticeable.
