Presents superbly, I spotted a small weaker area at side waist, photographed, very difficult to find and not noticeable at all! A couple of small holes to lining, obviously not seen when worn. I don’t believe buttons are original, and look to have been moved around a bit from ghost stitch dots evident to the lining. Could be moved to increase or decrease an inch or so if needed. One or two areas of minor parting to the fur, worst pictured is at the point of most use and still not very noticeable!
