Condition
Jacket is in very good condition. There are pen marks above one interior pocket and ink stains inside that pocket that can't be seen.
The vest presents well but has significant brown staining to the lining, two marks can be seen at the lower back when being worn. There's a hole near the top back in the outer layer of fabric, showing the light lining beneath. I don't know what the stains are, but definitely not blood. Jacket and vest have been washed and pressed.
